Overview
- On Dec. 23, Daniel María Garbellini submitted a 30‑plus page written defense asserting he never joined a criminal organization.
- He argues former ANDIS head Diego Spagnuolo held the signature and decision-making power, including control over purchasing information systems.
- The investigation led by prosecutor Franco Picardi targets alleged kickbacks and overpricing in medicine purchases through Incluir Salud that benefited select suppliers.
- Roger Grant, the only defendant to testify so far, said he took operational instructions from Garbellini on bidding, timelines, and system actions, while not describing bribe payments.
- Investigators are analyzing notebooks seized from Miguel Ángel Calvete’s home that reference Garbellini, treating the entries as documentary leads in the case.
