National Senator for the Justicialist Party (PJ) block, Juliana di Tullio, will formally denounce in Comodoro Py the Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, and his wife, María Josefina Rouillet. This comes after a contract awarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship to the Argentine Association of English Culture (AACI), led by Rouillet, for $114,044,133 became public, as reported by the Argentine News Agency. In exclusive statements, the legislator confirmed that she will appear before the federal courts in the coming business days to denounce, from her position as a public official, both Sturzenegger and his wife. She considers the hiring of the entity run by Rouillet to provide English language training to the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, led by Pablo Quirno, to be 'irregular.' The hiring was processed through a simple adjudication by specialty, and due to the family relationship, the file activated the integrity procedure established in Decree 202/2017, with the intervention of the Office of Anticorruption (OA) and the General Audit Office of the Nation (SIGEN). According to official documents, the proposal presented by the AACI to the Ministry was prepared by Sturzenegger's wife. The adjudication was formalized through Disposition DI-2026-06694033-APN-SSCYAE#MRE, within the framework of file EX-2025-132767865-APN-DCYC#MRE and procedure 26-0033-CDI25, published in the COMPR.AR system. The contract has a duration of nine months, with an option for an extension for an equal period.
