Overview

• Diego Spagnuolo formalized his defense with attorneys Juan Aráoz and Ignacio Rada Schultze and is reported to be weighing collaborator status, while confidants say he fears for his life.
• Federal prosecutor Franco Picardi received roughly 50 audio files tied to alleged kickbacks in disability drug procurement that reference Karina Milei, Eduardo “Lule” Menem and supplier Suizo Argentina, with forensic reviews underway.
• Judge Sebastián Casanello’s court is analyzing material seized in raids at ANDIS and phones of implicated parties, including the Kovalivker brothers, to test for overpricing and potential bribe payments.
• The government rejects the allegations—Milei called them an “operación” and “otra mentira”—and, despite his threat to sue, Casa Rosada officials say no complaint against Spagnuolo is being filed for now.
• ANDIS remains under intervention with internal audits in progress, and officials are drafting changes to centralize the agency’s purchasing under the Health Ministry as political tensions and electoral risks intensify.
