In a significant ruling, federal judge Sebastián Casanello declared that the National Disability Agency (Andis) was misused for personal enrichment by its members, detracting from its primary mission of protecting people with disabilities. The case centers around Diego Spagnuolo, a former lawyer and personal friend of President Javier Milei, who faces corruption charges along with other defendants, including former official Diego Garbellini and businessman Miguel Ángel Calvete.

The investigation was sparked by audio recordings involving Spagnuolo which became public, leading to the judicial review. While some high-profile individuals, such as Karina Milei and Eduardo ‘Lule’ Menem, were referenced in these recordings, they have not yet been implicated in the formal legal proceedings. The judge's decision highlights the scope and severity of the corruption within Andis, suggesting that the issues may extend further into the organization and implicate more individuals as the investigation progresses.

The implications of this ruling are profound, as it not only sheds light on the misuse of public agencies in Argentina but also raises questions about accountability among those in power. As the situation unfolds, it may lead to further scrutiny of the Milei administration and its affiliations, emphasizing the need for transparency and reform in the management of public resources designated for vulnerable populations.
