Argentina Supreme Court upholds detention of ex-Arsat chief Facundo Leal on drug trafficking charges

Argentina's highest penal court confirmed preventive detention and a 30 million peso embargo against Facundo Leal, former head of state firms Arsat and Orsna under President Milei, on drug trafficking charges. A separate kickback case remains ongoing. The ruling marks a definitive setback for Leal, who will remain in prison.
