Buenos Aires, November 14 (NA) – The former head of the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), Diego Spagnuolo, has been called to testify in the investigation into alleged bribes within the agency.
“Given the factual scenario, constructed based on the evidence gathered by the prosecutor's office in charge of the investigation, I consider that the degree of suspicion required by article 294 of the National Criminal Procedure Code has been met to grant the accuser's request and order Spagnuolo to be called to testify,” stated Federal Prosecutor Franco Picardi, as learned by the Argentine News Agency (NA).
Additionally, Pablo Atchabahian, Miguel Ángel Calvete, Daniel María Garbellini, Eduardo Nelio González, Lorena Di Giorno, Roger Edgar Grant, Luciana Ferrari, Federico Maximiliano Santich, Guadalupe Ariana Muñoz, Patricio Gustavo Rama, Ruth Noemí Lozano, Andrés Horacio Arnaudo, Silvana Vanina Escudero, and Alejandro Gastón Fuentes Acosta have also been called to testify.
“ANDIS became an agency where there was a structured and sustained scheme for directing public contracts, and consequently, due to its characteristics, a scheme for defrauding the national treasury, implemented through the use of the SIIPFIS information system as a tool for apparent transparency,” added the prosecutor.
