ANDIS Corruption Probe Intensifies With New Money‑Trail Raids as Key Ex‑Official Declines to Testify

Prosecutors describe a network that let outside operators steer disability drug purchases for kickbacks, prompting account freezes, targeted searches and a push to trace suspected crypto conversions.

Overview

  • Daniel María Garbellini, former director at ANDIS, appeared for indagatoria and refused to answer questions, with travel restricted and periodic court check‑ins ordered.
  • Forensic work on a seized phone recovered deleted chats that investigators say show Garbellini executing external instructions to manipulate purchases and payments.
  • Judge Sebastián Casanello ordered fresh raids and asset freezes to follow funds, focusing on alleged operators Alan Pocoví and Sergio Mastropietro and transfers routed through Baires Jets and Baires Fly.
  • Case files cite large movements of money, including a transfer exceeding 150 million pesos, alleged use of a crypto app, and invoices tied to “kilometers” for aircraft as purported cover for flows.
  • Prosecutors allege procurement was steered to a small circle of firms such as Génesis, Profarma, New Farma and Floresta, while political fallout widened with Javier Cardini’s resignation after a $700,000 cash seizure and with external operator Miguel Ángel Calvete detained and Pablo Atchabahian under house arrest.
