A new criminal complaint was filed this week against Argentine President Javier Milei; his sister and Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei; and the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, along with his cousin Eduardo Menem.

The indictment alleges the existence of an illegal conspiracy to divert public funds through irregular contracts with the National Disability Agency (ANDIS).

The lawsuit, filed in the federal courts of Comodoro Py in Buenos Aires, follows the revelation of a series of audio recordings. In the recordings, a voice identified as Diego Spagnuolo, head of ANDIS and former personal lawyer to President Milei , describes in detail an alleged corruption scheme.

According to the indictment, the scheme allegedly involved Droguería Suizo Argentina SA, a pharmaceutical company linked to the family of the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies. The objective was to award multimillion-dollar contracts for the supply of medications without following the public bidding procedures required by Argentine law.

The affected funds were intended for assistance programs for approximately 1.5 million people with disabilities in the country. Milei's government, which took office in December 2023, is promoting an austere fiscal adjustment program that has included severe cuts in public spending, with disability assistance being one of the most targeted sectors.

The audios that mention Milei

The audio recordings, which were allegedly recorded in a cafe, have not yet been officially authenticated by the courts. However, their content has sparked a serious political crisis. In the recordings, the voice attributed to Spagnuolo repeatedly mentions Karina Milei, Eduardo "Lule" Menem, and the pharmacist.

In one of the fragments, we hear: “What Lule is doing is stealing in a way…” In another passage, the voice indicates: “He [referring to Javier Milei] is not involved, but it’s all his people.” Later, he adds: “I spoke with the president. (I told him) ‘Javi, this is happening, this and this.’ You know your sister is stealing .”

The recording also describes the drugstore's modus operandi: it is alleged that the drugstore centralized purchases, increased the commission percentage required from other suppliers, and then distributed part of those funds. "Karina should get 3%... 1% goes to me, and you, Karina, get 3%," it is heard.

Judicial background

This is not the first time similar accusations have been made. In August 2024, a lawyer filed a complaint based on news reports revealing contracts worth 30 billion Argentine pesos (approximately $30 million at the official exchange rate at the time) awarded to Droguería Suizo Argentina without public bidding.

These purchases would have been made in " meetings " carried out in the house that Fernando Menem , Martín's brother and " Lule 's " cousin , has in Nordelta, with associates of Suizo Argentina SA, according to the complaint.

The complainant stated that " everything reported here highlights that the National Disability Agency failed to follow the legal procedures to enter into a contract with the drugstore Suizo Argentina SA . " He also stated that the alleged corruption scheme used Andis " as a vehicle to divert public funds that were supposed to go to 1.5 million people with disabilities . "

That initial complaint, which targeted the same officials, was dismissed months later by the presiding court due to a lack of sufficient evidence. The case had been filed in Federal Court No. 11, which has been vacant since the death of its presiding judge in 2022.

The new complaint, filed by attorney Gregorio Dalbón , reiterates the accusations while incorporating the audio recordings as a central element. Dalbón requested search warrants at the headquarters of ANDIS, the General Secretariat of the Presidency, and the offices of Droguería Suizo Argentina. He also requested the seizure of financial documentation and contracts to determine the company's cash flow and shareholding structure.

According to the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC), three out of 10 water samples collected at the Lino Lakes prison on July 29 tested above the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb). The contaminated samples were found in two living units and a kitchen area.

Summary

Common descent theory plays an influential role in shaping the search for extraterrestrial life by providing insights into evolutionary processes, universal biology, and potential biosignatures. Although it offers valuable guidance for identifying environments and characteristics favorable to life beyond Earth, scientists must remain open to discovering organisms fundamentally different from those known on our planet. Balancing expectations informed by Earth’s biology with the readiness to encounter unprecedented forms of life is essential for advancing the search for extraterrestrial organisms.

When the Trump administration announced massive cuts to federal health agencies earlier this year, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he was getting rid of excess administrators who were larding the government with bureaucratic bloat.

But a groundbreaking data analysis by ProPublica shows the administration has cut deeper than it has acknowledged. Though Kennedy said he would add scientists to the workforce, agencies have lost thousands of them, along with colleagues who those scientists depended on to dispatch checks, fix computers and order lab supplies, enabling them to do their jobs.

Done in the name of government efficiency, these reductions have left departments stretching to perform their basic functions, ProPublica found, according to interviews with more than three dozen former and current federal employees.

Food and drug facility inspectors are having to go to the store and buy supplies on their own dime so they can take swab samples to test for pathogens.

Some labs have been unable to purchase the sterile eggs needed to replicate viruses or the mice needed to test vaccines.

And less than five years after a pandemic killed more than a million Americans, scientists who study infectious diseases are struggling to pay for saline solution, gloves and blood to feed lab mosquitos.

The Trump administration has refused to say how many workers have been lost so far. But ProPublica’s analysis reveals the cuts in unprecedented detail.

I am looking into changing my web hosting provider, as I did not research pricing sufficiently before signing up for the one I am currently using, and I have developed a preference to avoid American companies since.

My domain is registered with a separate company, and my website is completely static and home made, so I think the move should be somewhat painless. I expect that it's as easy as signing up for another service provider, and redirecting the domain to whatever information they provide. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What I'm a little concerned about is my email at name@example.com. I'm assuming setting up a new address under the same name would be trivial under most hosting providers, but is there a good way of keeping my current emails available on the server? Alternatively, does anyone know of good options for making local backups of my inbox?

Last, if anyone has recommendations for somewhat affordable, green & European hosting providers, it would be much appreciated. I guess Hetzner is an option, but I wouldn't mind supporting a slightly smaller company if I can.

Thanks!

A German court has ruled that a Nazi concentration camp memorial has the right to refuse entry to those wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.

The higher administrative court in the eastern state of Thuringia on Wednesday rejected a request from a woman to be allowed entry to the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial while wearing a keffiyeh.

“It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said.

I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.

I think I'm at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.

I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.
