Overview
- Sala II of the Federal Chamber has set an oral hearing to review defense nullity challenges tied to leaked audio at the center of the case.
- Former ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo asked the appellate court to exclude the recordings and dismiss him, arguing privacy violations, no chain of custody and no acoustic verification.
- Judge Sebastián Casanello earlier rejected nullity motions by Suizo Argentina’s Kovalivker family, aligning with Prosecutor Franco Picardi’s view that the claims were erroneous and contradictory.
- Defense filings question the legality and authenticity of the audio, with arguments referencing potential manipulation and even AI generation, while prosecutors maintain the probe should proceed.
- The investigation targets alleged kickbacks in high‑cost medicine purchasing and the recordings reportedly mention Suizo Argentina as well as Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem.
