Buenos Aires, 6 December (NA) -- The "Coimagate" case, investigating an "enormous corruption scheme" at the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), has entered a decisive stage. This Friday, the first round of 15 interrogations concluded before Federal Judge Sebastián Casanello, with most of the accused exercising their right to remain silent. According to journalist Franco Mizrahi, the case is at a crucial moment, as the Federal Chamber of Buenos Aires has ordered the judge to determine the authenticity of the leaked audios. The prosecution, led by Franco Picardi and the UIF, alleges an illegal fundraising system that benefited pharmacies. The key accused, including Diego Spagnuolo (former head of ANDIS), have invoked their right to silence. The most significant development is the court's order for Casanello to verify the leaked audios of Spagnuolo describing the bribery system. Spagnuolo's defense claims the recordings were manipulated using AI. Meanwhile, the prosecution is preparing new summonses focused on laundering the illegal funds.
