Corruption and Economic Crisis in Argentina
Argentina is facing a series of scandals surrounding President Javier Milei's administration ahead of legislative elections.
A recent kickback scheme involving the President's sister, Karina Milei, has come to light. Leaked audio recordings reveal corruption at the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), with Karina Milei as the beneficiary.
Diego Spagnuolo, the head of ANDIS and the president's former lawyer, explains that Karina Milei received 3 percent of the amount paid for medicines for people with disabilities, ranging from $500,000 to $800,000 per month.
- The scandal was revealed through audio recordings released by journalists Ivy Cángaro and Mauro Federico.
- The Emergency Disability Law was reconfirmed by Argentina's Chamber of Deputies in August.
