Milei Dismisses ANDIS Kickback Claims, Defends Karina With “3%” Remark

Opposition lawmakers seek to summon Karina Milei to testify before the Chamber of Deputies.

Overview

  • In a televised interview on A24, President Javier Milei called the ANDIS bribery allegations against his sister false and argued, “If you can keep 100%, why would you take 3%.”
  • Milei labeled the leaked recordings attributed to former ANDIS head Diego Spagnuolo as baseless gossip and said he removed Spagnuolo for failing to report alleged wrongdoing.
  • He cited administrative changes to say Karina distanced herself from ANDIS by transferring the agency from the Presidential Secretariat to Capital Humano and later to Health.
  • Days earlier, federal judge Sebastián Casanello rejected a nullity bid from the Kovalivker defendants connected to supplier Suizo Argentina in the corruption probe.
  • The case stems from a complaint filed by lawyer Gregorio Dalbón after audios surfaced in which Spagnuolo describes a kickback scheme and names Karina Milei and adviser Eduardo “Lule” Menem.
