Overview

• Judge Sebastián Casanello, acting on a request from federal prosecutor Franco Picardi, ordered 14–15 searches at ANDIS, the drug wholesaler Suizo Argentina and multiple private residences.
• Investigators seized significant evidence, including phones, computers and documentation, and found US$266,000 and 7 million pesos in envelopes in a vehicle linked to Emmanuel Kovalivker.
• Police located former ANDIS director Diego Spagnuolo in a gated community in Pilar and seized his cellphone, a computer and documents, though he was not detained.
• Travel bans were imposed on Spagnuolo, members of the Kovalivker family and ex-official Daniel Garbellini as the case proceeds under secrecy with forensic analyses underway.
• The probe followed audios attributed to Spagnuolo describing an alleged 8% kickback system involving Suizo Argentina and naming senior political figures; the Presidency removed him and appointed Alejandro Vilches to intervene ANDIS.
