Overview

• Images of the bill-counting machine seized from former ANDIS director Diego Spagnuolo were published, spotlighting physical evidence in the federal bribery inquiry.
• Federal investigators raided Spagnuolo’s home and vehicles on August 23, seizing two phones and documents, and they did not move to arrest him.
• Chamber of Deputies president Martín Menem defended Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem, called the leaked audios of doubtful authenticity, and noted that ANDIS was intervened and audited.
• Reporting indicates Spagnuolo is evaluating registering as an imputado colaborador, has told associates he fears for his life, and claims government-linked lawyers were offered to him, which the named firms deny.
• Judge Sebastián Casanello and prosecutor Franco Picardi imposed travel bans on Spagnuolo, former official Daniel María Garbellini, and executives tied to Suizo Argentina as the case progresses.
