Overview

• Prosecutors searched Suizo Argentina and seized documents, computers and the owners’ phones in an inquiry into alleged kickbacks tied to disability-service purchases.
• Recordings released on August 19 by former ANDIS director Diego Spagnuolo allege percentage markups routed through Suizo Argentina and implicate Karina Milei, though the claims remain unproven.
• Karina Milei secured a court order blocking further dissemination of the audios, and the government has advanced a narrative attributing the leak to Russian and Venezuelan intelligence.
• Campaign tensions escalated with stones thrown at Milei, including an August 27 attack on his motorcade in Lomas de Zamora, leading to heavy security at recent rallies.
• Polling points to a tight race with Axel Kicillof’s Fuerza Patria projected to lead in a province that holds over one-third of Argentina’s electorate, posing a choice between his industry-centered policies and Milei’s market-opening program.
