Financial Turmoil in Entre Ríos: Dairy Company Under Fire
Nutríssima, a dairy company established by the mayor of María Grande, finds itself embroiled in a significant scandal, with accusations of issuing bounced checks and unfulfilled sales contracts. The claims against the company indicate a liability totaling $3 billion. According to complaints filed by affected parties, Nutríssima, headquartered in María Grande, Entre Ríos, accrued over 550 bounced checks exceeding a value of $1 billion. Lawyer Emilio Fouces warns that the damages could reach up to $3 billion, potentially turning the case into a criminal fraud lawsuit. The backdrop of the conflict is sensitive, with one of the founders being the current mayor Héctor Solari.

Judicial sources indicate that in some instances, the operations involved receiving prepayments for goods that were never delivered and issuing unsecured checks since mid-June. Fouces stated, "Trust has been exploited; this isn't just a commercial issue, there is criminal maneuvering behind it." The responsibility highlights institutional ties; while the mayor has tried to distance himself, his son actively participates in the company. So far, Nutríssima has not provided convincing explanations or proposals to compensate those affected. The prosecutor's office in Paraná is considering opening the case as criminal or commercial given the accumulation of evidence and the growing social outcry. In the meantime, the victims are demanding urgent intervention and accountability measures.
