Overview
- Prosecutors Franco Picardi and Sergio Rodríguez asked the court to summon more than 30 people, including Diego Spagnuolo, Miguel Ángel Calvete and Daniel Garbellini, and to order a general freeze on assets.
- They allege the disability agency became a hub for improper payments that steered contracts to linked firms and drove up prices for high‑cost medical supplies.
- The case ties about 75.478 billion pesos in public outlays to the network, with prosthetics for amputations topping 5.6 billion pesos split almost evenly between two supplier groups.
- Investigators say the scheme ran from December 2023 to October 2025 and used the SIIPFIS purchasing system to stage fake competition among related companies.
- Earlier rulings processed Spagnuolo and other leaders on bribery, fraud and illicit association charges, and the case now advances before Judge Ariel Lijo with measures aimed at safeguarding funds for people with disabilities.
