Overview
- National deputy Lourdes Arrieta filed a March 18 complaint in Federal Court No. 3 before Judge Daniel Rafecas accusing former defense minister Luis Petri of fraudulent administration, embezzlement and abandonment of person linked to IOSFA.
- The complaint seeks scrutiny of IOSFA’s borrowing from the military pension fund IAF, with internal audits showing debt swelling from about 44 to 210 billion pesos in roughly 18 months and IAF loans comprising more than 30% of liabilities.
- Following a February 19 decree dissolving IOSFA and creating OSFA, oncology and high‑complexity treatments are being prioritized while many ambulatory services and reimbursements remain suspended as large unpaid debts persist.
- Private providers have curtailed care in several provinces and affiliates have staged protests, reporting out‑of‑pocket spending and missing reimbursements, even as the Defense Ministry publicly asserts services are operating normally.
- Separately, IOSFA administrator Ariel Guzmán opened a March 3 administrative inquiry into a 2024 contract change for a Cosquín hotel project approved by former IOSFA president Oscar Sagás, citing possible administrative and patrimonial irregularities with potential judicial referral.
