Judge Sets New ANDIS Corruption Questionings, Summons Ornella Calvete for Dec. 19

A court-ordered forensic review of disputed audio recordings now underpins the probe’s next steps.

Overview

  • Federal judge Sebastián Casanello scheduled statements for Dec. 18–19 at Comodoro Py, setting Calvete’s appearance for Friday at 12:00.
  • At prosecutor Franco Picardi’s request, Diego Martín D’Giano and Patricia Canavesio were cited for Dec. 18 and Julio César Viera for Dec. 19.
  • A recently circulated clip attributed to Ornella refers to a “3%” commission, though its provenance is part of the contested audio evidence.
  • The Federal Chamber ordered deeper forensic tests to establish the origin and authenticity of recordings that launched the case after defenses alleged editing and possible AI-generated voice.
  • Investigators previously seized about US$700,000 from Calvete’s home and she resigned from an Economy Ministry post, while her father Miguel Ángel Calvete was already questioned and declined to testify.
