Overview

  • Health Minister Mario Lugones publicly accused Ariel García Furfaro and his associates of political collusion and opened an internal sumario at INAME
  • A whistleblower former HLB Pharma employee detailed systematic record falsification and said ANMAT pre-notified inspections, enabling evasion of quality controls
  • Authorities seized an additional 389 tainted vials in Córdoba (200) and Chubut (189), narrowing the gap on thousands still unaccounted for
  • Judge Ernesto Kreplak has maintained travel bans on 24 suspects and asset freezes while awaiting Malbrán and Supreme Court pericial findings
  • Ariel García Furfaro denies responsibility, predicts imminent arrest, and has suggested intelligence services may have tampered with the vials
