- Picardi also sought Spagnuolo’s detention and moved for additional searches and device seizures as the inquiry advances.
- Investigators describe a structured scheme using the SIIPFIS system and reduced price competitions to preselect suppliers, with Profarma, Génesis, New Farma and Floresta recurring in awards.
