Karina Milei’s Caravan Attacked in Corrientes After Assault on President’s Convoy

A former disability agency chief’s recordings alleging a 3% kickback to Karina Milei triggered a federal probe.

Overview

  • Protesters in Corrientes kicked official vehicles and hurled objects at a La Libertad Avanza caravan led by Karina Milei, forcing an evacuation and resulting in at least two arrests.
  • Less than 24 hours earlier in Lomas de Zamora, demonstrators threw stones and bottles at President Javier Milei’s open‑air vehicle; the presidency said no one in the convoy was hurt, and local reports noted a woman at the scene was injured.
  • The unrest references audio in which former Andis director Diego Spagnuolo alleges a scheme paying Karina Milei a 3% cut on agency contracts via supplier Suizo Argentina.
  • Spagnuolo acknowledged being the voice in the recordings and was dismissed, as a federal judge ordered searches that seized his phones and a bill‑counting machine and confiscated large sums of cash from Suizo Argentina co‑owner Emmanuel Kovalivker.
  • Javier Milei has publicly defended his sister, called the allegations lies, and promised to sue Spagnuolo, with protests and the inquiry shaping the run‑up to October’s midterm elections.
