Overview

  • Judge Sebastián Casanello ordered searches at the National Disability Agency (Andis) and at Suizo Argentina as investigators examine alleged commission payments tied to public medicine purchases.
  • The probe stems from leaked recordings attributed to ex-Andis director Diego Spagnuolo in which he claims “Karina receives 3%,” leading to his dismissal and triggering a formal inquiry.
  • Police reported no arrests so far in the corruption case, Suizo Argentina says it operates within the law, and President Javier Milei reposted the company’s statement.
  • Milei denies wrongdoing, calls the allegations a political operation, says he will sue Spagnuolo, and adds that he will cooperate with the judiciary.
  • Two people were detained after projectiles struck Milei’s motorcade in Lomas de Zamora, the president was unharmed, a supporter was injured, and new scuffles forced Karina Milei’s evacuation at a Corrientes event ahead of September and October votes.
