Overview
- After days of silence, the government leaned on public denials from Eduardo 'Lule' Menem and Martín Menem, while Javier Milei avoided the topic at a Junín rally and uttered the line “están molestos porque les estamos afanando los choreos.”
- Federal prosecutor Franco Picardi advanced the case with raids that seized Diego Spagnuolo’s cellphone and materials from other addresses, and the probe remains under secreto de sumario with reported forensic analysis of the recordings.
- Deputies convene a joint meeting today to press the health minister and ANDIS interventor Alejandro Vilches, with Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos scheduled to deliver his report on Wednesday and the LIBRA investigative commission set to organize on Thursday.
- Internal polling cited by the opposition suggests the scandal is peeling away some libertarian voters, as Milei warns of alleged fraud risks in the Buenos Aires vote and urges supporters to turn out.
- Spagnuolo was removed from ANDIS by presidential decree and Vilches appointed as interventor, while the audios describe alleged kickbacks tied to procurement and mention the droguería Suizo Argentina.
