Ex-ANDIS Director to Face Questioning in Expanding Drug Procurement Probe

Prosecutors cite digital messages, images, cash movements as evidence of a scheme of directed contracts.

Overview

  • Businessman Miguel Ángel Calvete appeared before Judge Sebastián Casanello and prosecutor Franco Picardi but declined to testify.
  • Today’s indagatoria targets former ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo, whose decision to answer or remain silent could shape the case.
  • Investigators describe a network that steered medicine purchases to selected suppliers between December 2023 and October 2025.
  • At least four drugstores—Profarma, Génesis, New Pharma, Floresta—reportedly secured about ARS 40,000 million in awards.
  • A related raid found US$700,000 at the home of Calvete’s daughter, Ornella, who resigned from an Economy Ministry post.
