On January 4, 2018, Marcelo Balcedo, who held the position of morning director, was arrested in Uruguay with his wife Paola Fiege, accused of the crimes of money laundering, smuggling and international trafficking of firearms, ammunition, explosives and other related materials, "all in real repetition regime".

In response, Myriam Renée Chávez de Balcedo stepped back in as director and laid off more than a hundred employees, including journalists, photographers, cameramen, and editors.

On the morning of October 18, 2018, Myriam Renée Chávez de Balcedo was arrested by order of federal judge Ernesto Kreplak, accused of illicit association, money laundering, and defrauding for 64 million pesos in the SOEME, the guild led by his son, Marcelo Balcedo, in prison since January 2018.

Given this situation, the editor of the newspaper published a final cover and editorial on November 2, 2018, with the title: "Judge Kreplak: Do not be a donkey, ideas are not killed.

Unfortunately and with great pain I have to tell you that the judicial pressure that was exerted viciously against this newspaper makes this happen!!!!
