Overview
- Diego Spagnuolo appeared at Comodoro Py for his indagatoria, declined to answer questions, and his defense signaled future filings after reviewing the case file.
- Prosecutor Franco Picardi alleges a structured scheme that steered medicine purchases to a closed group of suppliers with 10–20% overpricing, affecting funds for Incluir Salud beneficiaries.
- Judge Sebastián Casanello did not jail Spagnuolo after a detention request but ordered other measures, and one supplier-linked executive, Pablo Atchabahian, was arrested.
- Investigators cite independent evidence including undeclared cash (about US$82,000 and €2,950), a money-counting machine, and unexplained home renovations, plus images tied to a disputed ARS 5 million cash delivery.
- Recordings attributed to Spagnuolo reference a kickback circuit and mention Karina Milei; she is not charged, and the defense claims the audios are deepfakes and plans to submit forensic reports, with more hearings set into early December.
