Life and career
editHe was born in Rosario, Santa Fe Province in 1961 and he graduated from the National University of the Northeast with a degree in roadway engineering in 1986.[1] Prior to entering politics, Biancalani ran his family's construction firm.[2]
Biancalani was elected to the Senate on the Frente Chaco Merece Más party list, and is part of the majority Front for Victory caucus. Biancalani reaped criticism for the cost of road maintenance contract for Chaco's Route 7. The contract had been awarded to the Adelmo Biancalani firm.[2]
In 2016 he was named as a suspect in the Lazaro Baez Case, due to the investigation of his family's construction firm over suspected tax evasion.[3] In 2020 he was indicted for aggravated tax evasion.[4]
In 2024 the trial against Biancalani, Lazaro Baez and other co-conspirators started.[5] The prosecution argued that the accused had been involded in a tax evasion scheme to create fake invoices of the Adelmo Biancalani and Austral Construcciones construction companies. The prosecutor's office requested a 5 year prison sentence for Biancalani,[6] but due to his death all legal action against him ended before he could be sentenced.
Biancalani died in Resitencia, Chaco on 26 August 2024, after suffering a stroke and two heart attacks. He was 62.[7]
