Overview
- Federal judge Federico Villena ordered a search of SPF director Fernando Julián Martínez’s offices as part of an investigation into suspected collusion over catering at Ezeiza prison.
- During the operation, Martínez handed over an old phone claiming his usual device was lost, and cell data showed that phone active about an hour earlier near Barracas, heightening suspicion of a tip-off.
- Investigators document links between sanctioned supplier Foodrush and current contractor Bio Limp, including shared trucks, the same kitchen staff, and cross‑billing of roughly 150 million pesos.
- The new Ezeiza catering award issued that day again went to Bio Limp, keeping the questioned provider on the contract while the probe continues.
- Federal prosecutor Cecilia Incardona moved to annul parts of the proceedings, citing actions on a non-business day, the lack of a new court draw after reopening, and the seizure of the director’s phone.
