In this first case he was sentenced to 6 years in prison for the crime of money laundering and acquitted of the other crimes. However, on appeal, a retrial was ordered and his release was ordered, but he had to remain in prison for a second case. On 18 October 2024, a judge granted him coercive measures, including house arrest. The Public Prosecutor's Office appealed this decision, which has not yet been resolved.
