Diego Orlando Spagnuolo

Diego Orlando Spagnuolo is a 46-year-old Argentine lawyer who gained notoriety as the personal attorney and confidant of President Javier Milei. Recently, he became embroiled in a corruption scandal involving alleged bribery schemes linked to his former position as the director of the National Agency for Disability (Andis). Spagnuolo was recorded discussing a scheme that required suppliers to pay kickbacks for lucrative contracts, raising serious ethical concerns and prompting his dismissal from the agency amid widespread media attention. Despite his legal background, his rapid ascent to a significant government role and his close ties to the Milei administration have drawn scrutiny, particularly following the release of audio recordings that suggest misconduct and possible collusion with key figures in the government.
