Overview

• - The Buenos Aires provincial Ministry of Environment was instructed to preserve the site, map and photograph the area, and assess the open-air piles of discarded ampoules and other containers at Laboratorios Ramallo.
• - Drone and on-site images show large quantities of vials, including fentanyl, diclofenac and ranitidine, dumped outdoors without treatment, a scenario not flagged in earlier raids or by federal custodians.
• - Provincial inspectors entered the premises on Friday to survey the waste and coordinate its safe removal, with authorities to determine disposal steps and any environmental infractions.
• - The judicial file now holds 122 patient histories across 13 hospitals and clinics, and the Cuerpo Médico Forense reported that infections from contaminated fentanyl contributed to death in 12 of the first 20 cases analyzed.
• - Official analyses by ANLIS-Malbrán linked Ralstonia mannitolilytica and Klebsiella pneumoniae NDM-5 in patients to seized ampoules and documented critical GMP failures, while Judge Ernesto Kreplak continues indagatorias of Ramallo staff and keeps executives, including owner Ariel García Furfaro, under detention.
