Overview

  • New audio fragments aired by Página/12 and programs hosted by Jorge Rial added criticisms of Sandra Pettovello, Federico Sturzenegger and Diana Mondino, with references to internal rifts and timelines stretching from late 2024 to early 2025, though full context and origin remain unclear.
  • Federal investigators led by Judge Sebastián Casanello and prosecutor Franco Picardi executed raids in recent days, seizing phones and documents tied to former ANDIS officials and executives linked to Suizo Argentina, with cash confiscated from a company owner’s vehicle reported by La Nación.
  • The presidency removed Diego Spagnuolo and ANDIS health services director Daniel Garbellini on a preventive basis, while government figures rejected the accusations as a political operation and questioned the authenticity and editing of the recordings.
  • Lower-house committees scheduled a joint session to question the health minister and the new ANDIS interventor, with opposition blocs pushing additional interpellations, including for Sturzenegger, and advancing investigative commissions on the ANDIS case and the separate $LIBRA matter.
  • Reporting details the administrative fallout of Spagnuolo’s tenure at ANDIS, including roughly 110,000 disability pensions already canceled, projections above 400,000 by year-end, significant program cuts and about 340 staff dismissals.
