Before Elections, Corruption and Economic Crisis Plague Milei

Corruption and Economic Crisis in Argentina

Argentina is facing a series of scandals surrounding President Javier Milei's administration, including a kickback scheme involving his sister, Karina Milei, ahead of legislative elections.

The scandal involves the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), where audio recordings revealed corruption, with Karina Milei receiving 3% of the amount paid for medicines for people with disabilities, totaling $500,000 to $800,000 per month.

Diego Spagnuolo, the head of ANDIS, explained the kickback scheme in the leaked recordings, which were released by journalists Ivy Cángaro and Mauro Federico.

This corruption scandal comes as Argentina's Chamber of Deputies reconfirmed the Emergency Disability Law in August, highlighting the country's ongoing economic crisis and corruption issues.
