Overview

  • The court released Fernando Cerimedo’s September 11 statement, which says Diego Spagnuolo told President Javier Milei and Minister Sandra Pettovello about alleged kickbacks in medicine purchases at ANDIS.
  • Cerimedo reported that Spagnuolo linked Eduardo “Lule” Menem and Suizo Argentina to a scheme that raised returns from 5% to 8% with “3% to Casa Rosada,” as relayed to him by a supplier.
  • Forensic reports to prosecutors say Spagnuolo deleted messages from his phone and attempted to re‑register his WhatsApp from another device on August 21, the day before raids.
  • Investigators found US$80,000 and €2,000 in a BBVA safe‑deposit box held by Spagnuolo, exceeding cash he had declared on taking office.
  • With secrecy lifted, Judge Sebastián Casanello and prosecutor Franco Picardi are focusing on ANDIS procurement files involving Suizo Argentina, alongside reviews by the PIA and an ongoing agency intervention.
