Overview
- Sala II convenes at 10:30 a.m. in Comodoro Py to hear challenges to the case that examines alleged kickbacks in disability-related drug procurement.
- The appeal follows Judge Sebastián Casanello’s rejection of nullity motions from the Kovalivker family, owners of Suizo Argentina, with former ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo also seeking to void the case.
- Judges Martín Irurzun, Eduardo Farah and Roberto Boico will decide whether to uphold the lower court or invalidate key steps in the probe, which remains under secrecy.
- Defense filings argue the investigation rests on illicit or manipulated recordings attributed to Spagnuolo that cite Suizo Argentina and reference Karina Milei and presidential adviser Eduardo “Lule” Menem.
- Prosecutor Franco Picardi maintains the measures are lawful, notes the case began with a formal complaint after the audios became public, and has sought 25 simultaneous raids over suspected bid steering and irregularities.
