Overview
- Federal judge Ariel Lijo, acting Friday, told agencies to send full files on mass SMS, transactional email, and tech support contracts, and to remit the Tecnópolis concession paperwork to the Comodoro Py courts.
- Prosecutor Carlos Stornelli advanced the case after lawmaker Marcela Pagano alleged a 2025 communications tender worth more than 3.6 billion pesos showed irregularities.
- The court asked the corporate registry (IGJ) for ownership records of firms including Area Tech, ATX, Tecnosoftware, Movilgate, Lugalu, Equila, and Tsoft to trace possible links between bidders.
- Investigators are checking claims of staged competition and whether +Be, tied to Bettina Angeletti, did business with state vendors such as Grupo Datco and the Foggia group, with the National Procurement Office asked to confirm any contracts by those firms.
- No one is charged at this stage, and the evidence will be used to confirm or rule out crimes such as fraud against the state or self‑dealing, which could expose conflicts of interest around the cabinet chief.
