Overview
- Former ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo is scheduled to face questioning in Comodoro Py, with investigators saying his statement or silence will set the pace of the case.
- Miguel Ángel Calvete, identified by the prosecution as a key external operator, refused to testify before Judge Sebastián Casanello and Prosecutor Franco Picardi and remains detained on a prior 2019 conviction.
- Ornella Calvete resigned from the Economy Ministry after an October search of her residence found about US$700,000; case files include chats that prosecutors say show her awareness of sensitive dealings.
- The inquiry alleges contract steering and kickback requests that repeatedly favored Profarma, Génesis, New Pharma/New Farma and Floresta, with awards around ARS 40 billion tied to high-cost PACBI procurements.
- Evidence cited includes seized phones, cuadernos with payout notes, photos and financial traces — including use of payment/crypto channels — as Judge Casanello and Prosecutor Picardi summon more officials and operators.
