The federal charges were made public Wednesday, naming five executives who are accused of bribing one employee - Patrick Briones, a lead wine buyer for the company that also owns Vons - to control which wines appeared on grocery store shelves in California as part of an eight-year scheme from 2016 to 2024.

According to the official data, the Peronist's center-left candidate Axel Kicillof won 46.8% of the vote across the province, while the candidate for Milei's La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party took 33.8%, with 82.2% of the votes counted. The margin between the Peronist party and Milei's party was much higher than what was predicted in pre-election polls. Milei accepted his party's "clear defeat" and admitted to unspecified "mistakes" which he vowed to "correct."
