This Thursday, the Kirchnerist Ariel García Furfaro, owner of HLB Pharma Group S.A., the laboratory identified as responsible for the contaminated fentanyl that caused the deaths of 96 patients in clinics and hospitals, appeared before the Commercial Court to request the certificates that would allow him to manufacture other medications that were previously produced by Nexo Pharmaceutical Group, a company currently bankrupt.
The maneuver carried out by the laboratory that killed more than 90 people took place despite the fact that ANMAT imposed a ban that prohibits it from carrying out this type of activity.

The businessman not only personally appeared at the National Commercial Court of First Instance No. 28, but did so by uttering a phrase that, according to descriptions, frames the episode in a context of total impunity. When asked about the laboratory he represents, Furfaro stated: "The one that killed more than 90 people".
HLB Pharma's offer had been submitted in May, just a few days after the Official Gazette published Provision 3158/2025, through which ANMAT ordered the ban on the laboratory for the production of medications and prohibited “the use, distribution, and commercialization throughout the territory of the Argentine Republic of all products registered under the company's name.”

That same position was communicated by the agency to the Court on June 2, when the latter requested information about the company's situation. In the response, it was also clarified that on May 21, the person serving as technical director of HLB Pharma had resigned, which leaves the company without the legal conditions necessary to produce.
The same provision had also imposed a similar restriction on Laboratorios Ramallo S.A., a company that also belongs to García Furfaro and from which the contaminated fentanyl originated.
The Kirchnerist businessman runs the laboratories HLB Pharma Group S.A. and Ramallo S.A., manufacturers and distributors of clinical-use fentanyl, a product linked by federal judge of La Plata, Ernesto Kreplak, to the deaths of 96 patients in various clinics and hospitals.
