Julio De Vido is under house arrest in his house in a country in Puerto Natal. He is accused of paying a 56 percent surcharge for works and equipment purchases for the creation of the State's Argentine Digital Terrestrial Television System.
The project was to "democratize information." The total of embargoes reaches 400 million pesos. He already has two sentences and seven prosecutions plus prosecutions in the Skanska, Cuadernos de Bribes, the soap opera "Mamá Corazón" and the irregular granting of subsidies to groups, two cases of fraud in Odebrecht works and the expansion of Fiscal Coal Deposits, among others.

The former minister of former president Cristina Kirchner's former lawyer, Roberto Boico, voted for the dismissal of the powerful former minister K. de Vido.
