Overview
- Federal court officials, who on Wednesday set the calendar, summoned former ANDIS head Diego Spagnuolo to expand his statement on April 28 and scheduled 34 more suspects through May 26 to give statements as accused parties.
- Prosecutors say the network rigged price contests for high-cost, low-incidence medical supplies in the Incluir Salud program, steering about 75,478,149,019 pesos to a tight group of companies.
- Investigators describe officials steering the SIIPFIS purchasing app, a tool launched in June 2024, to invite linked firms that simulated competition, with Miguel Ángel Calvete’s Indecomm SRL repeatedly winning while others filed token or no bids.
- Case files detail cross-billing and large transfers, including Baires Fly issuing invoices to drug and device firms for “aircraft kilometers” and Indecomm billing partner companies for “reconditioned beds,” with records citing sums that reached hundreds of millions of pesos.
- The fiscal filing alleges kickbacks of 12% to 20%, a 5 million peso cash delivery to Spagnuolo, and money handlers who moved funds in cash and even into crypto, a pattern that investigators say drained resources from patients waiting on costly drugs and devices.
