Overview
- Through new lawyer Mauricio D’Alessandro, Diego Spagnuolo asserted the leaked recordings are falsified or AI-generated, denied the voice is his, and alleged possible illegal espionage.
- Judges Roberto Boico, Martín Irurzun and Eduardo Farah of the Federal Chamber’s Sala II heard arguments and will decide whether to annul the case or let it continue.
- Prosecutor Franco Picardi opposed nullity, saying the audios were not given probative weight to open the case, citing other evidence and rejecting claims of illegal espionage.
- Forensic technicians (DATIP) reported Spagnuolo’s seized phone showed deleted content and attempts to restore his WhatsApp from another device the day before a raid.
- The probe stems from recordings describing a 3% kickback scheme in medication purchases involving Suizo Argentina and mentioning Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem, leading to raids at ANDIS, private homes and the company.
