Overview
- The president dismissed the leaked recordings as fabricated with artificial intelligence and derided them as salon gossip in recent comments in Córdoba and on radio.
- He denied being warned by former ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo, saying he would have “blown his head off” if told, and argued Spagnuolo had a duty to report any crimes.
- Milei rejected claims that Karina Milei took a 3% cut from contracts, calling the accusation “very tonto” and insisting the charge makes no sense.
- Ex‑advisor Fernando Cerimedo and producer Agustín Rodríguez told prosecutors that Spagnuolo described a kickback scheme at ANDIS involving Suizo Argentina and a 3% flow to the Casa Rosada.
- Prosecutor Franco Picardi’s team raided Spagnuolo’s home on August 22, seized his iPhone, found messages had been deleted the day before, and is reviewing around 600 contracts tied to the supplier network.
