Overview
- Judge Federico Villena ordered searches at Federal Penitentiary Service offices, including director Fernando Julián Martínez, as part of an inquiry into alleged cartelization of prison meal services.
- On the day of the raids, the Ezeiza catering tender was awarded again to Bio Limp, a firm under suspicion of acting as a front for previously sanctioned provider Foodrush.
- Case files cite ANMAT-backed tests that found E. coli above permitted levels in Foodrush meals, a finding that led to its ban and the case being reopened under the charge of envenenamiento.
- Investigators report Bio Limp used Foodrush-registered trucks, retained the same kitchen staff, and had cross-billing of about 150 million pesos, indicating operational overlap that would likely require SPF awareness.
- Martínez handed over an old phone while claiming he lost his usual device, and antenna data showed activity an hour before the search near Huracán’s stadium; prosecutor Cecilia Incardona has moved to nullify some measures, questioning timing and the phone seizure.
