Overview

  • Buenos Aires City Police executed 14 court-ordered raids at the request of prosecutor Franco Picardi under Judge Sebastián Casanello.
  • Investigators searched ANDIS headquarters and Suizo Argentina offices, securing computers and documentation on medicine tenders and purchases.
  • At Suizo Argentina co-owner Emmanuel Kovalivker’s Nordelta home, police seized more than $200,000 in cash stored in envelopes and his mobile phone.
  • Homes linked to ex-ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo and former official Daniel Garbellini were searched to seize devices, yet neither was found and no arrests were ordered.
  • The probe originates from lawyer Gregorio Dalbón’s complaint based on audios in which Spagnuolo alleged kickbacks involving Suizo Argentina and referenced politically connected figures, with potential charges including bribery and fraudulent administration.
