In a clear message of transparency and commitment to institutional order, President Javier Milei preventively removed Diego Spagnuolo, executive director of the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), following the release of audio recordings implicating him in improper fundraising schemes. The government thus reinforces its stance of "zero tolerance" toward any act that could affect the credibility of the country's economic and political direction.
The decision was officially communicated through the Presidential Spokesperson's Office. The statement said: "In light of the facts of public knowledge and the evident political use by the opposition in an election year, the President of the Nation has decided, as a preventive measure, to remove the Executive Director of the National Disability Agency, Diego Spagnuolo, from his position. The Minister of Health, Mario Lugones, will intervene in the National Disability Agency and will announce in the coming hours the name of the agency's new administrator, in order to guarantee its normal and proper functioning."
The measure was announced after the release of a series of audio recordings in which, allegedly, Spagnuolo's voice refers to an irregular fundraising scheme linked to the purchase and sale of medications. In the recordings, released by the streaming channel Carnaval, names from the ruling party are mentioned in a network of alleged "bribes" connected to pharmaceutical laboratories and the drug distributor Suizo Argentina.
