Overview
- Diego Spagnuolo appeared Friday before federal prosecutor Carlos Stornelli as a witness in a probe into alleged illegal intelligence targeting presidential aide Karina Milei.
- He denied wrongdoing tied to the dissolved disability agency ANDIS and said widely circulated recordings attributed to him were fabricated or manipulated with artificial intelligence.
- He told investigators he was secretly recorded for months while leading the agency and that portions of those tapes later fueled the corruption case.
- His legal team appealed his processing and sought to void the case, arguing the audio evidence was illicitly obtained or altered, citing cuts, missing metadata and possible tampering.
- On jurisdiction, Córdoba’s Federal Appeals Chamber (Sala B) provisionally assigned a pensions complaint to Federal Court No. 1 in Córdoba, while related lines continue in Buenos Aires, including scrutiny of supplier Suizo Argentina and a planned summons for its IT chief.
