Suizo Argentina Executive Indagated in ANDIS Procurement Probe

Prosecutors accuse the company of running a scheme to fix prices that steered purchases by the national disability agency.

Overview

  • Sebastián Nuner Uner, Suizo Argentina’s corporate affairs director, was indagated Tuesday and submitted a written defense in which he denied involvement and refused to answer oral questions.
  • The prosecution’s October fiscal report says Suizo Argentina acted as an organizing actor in a cartel that directed tenders and set prices, citing roughly ARS 137.1 billion in ANDIS adjudications between May 2024 and August 2025.
  • Investigators built the case from WhatsApp chats, invoices and procurement records and are completing a forensic review of leaked audios that started the probe, while prosecutors say the inquiry stands on documentary evidence independent of those recordings.
  • Defendants have asked courts to annul measures and exclude audio-derived evidence, challenged broad asset inhibitions placed on dozens of people, and sought substitution of freezes with specific embargos.
  • Further indagatorias for company owners Jonathan and Emmanuel Kovalivker and other Suizo executives are scheduled, a development that could determine liability for high-cost drug purchases that affect access and spending for disabled patients.
