Government Receives Seized Files, Speeds ANDIS Audit Over Unregistered Drug Purchases

Newly obtained court evidence points to off-portal medicine invoices without Health Ministry traceability, prompting a push to shift ANDIS procurement to Health.

Overview

  • The Presidency confirmed it now has documents from the Spagnuolo case raids and has directed the interventor to accelerate the review.
  • Files reportedly show drug purchases not listed on public portals and executed outside the central Health Ministry tracking systems.
  • Investigators suspect there was no formal contract with Suizo Argentina, with successive price checks that could have enabled overpricing.
  • The audit led by Alberto Vilches will focus on medicine procurement and disability pensions, with an internal inquiry expected to run up to six months and results after the October 26 legislative vote.
  • Officials cited operational steps including RENAPER identity validation, a new online address-update tool, new service centers, and 81,159 removals recorded for deaths and resignations.
