Milei Denounces Leaked Audio Scandal as ‘Opereta,’ Urges Swift Judicial Resolution

The president framed the recordings as a political operation and said his administration is at the disposal of the courts.

Overview

  • Javier Milei escalated his response to leaked audios by ex-Andis chief Diego Spagnuolo, rejecting the corruption claims and calling for a prompt judicial ruling.
  • Federal investigators have conducted 14 raids that included seizing phones from Spagnuolo and members of the Kovalivker family, owners of Droguería Suizo Argentina.
  • The audios allege overpricing and kickbacks tied to contracts with Droguería Suizo Argentina and mention Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem, which remain unproven claims under investigation.
  • Governor Alfredo Cornejo praised the rapid court actions, said Spagnuolo should speak to the case, and expressed support for a swift clarification.
  • Cornejo defended candidate Luis Petri regarding IOSFA purchases from the same supplier, arguing such acquisitions are routine and do not imply wrongdoing.
