Karina Milei served as manager of Javier Milei's schedule and later his income, reportedly keeping 10% of his earnings. She held a low public profile while exercising strong political influence and material ambition. Leaked audio recordings by ousted National Disability Agency director Diego Spagnuolo allege a bribery network linked to state medicine purchases that included Karina Milei and her collaborator Eduardo Lule Menem. Spagnuolo asserts that the president was aware of the irregularities but did not act. Javier Milei has publicly denied the allegations and labeled them lies and an opposition operation ahead of legislative elections.
Nothing is free, Karina Milei would say, over and over. The sister of the Argentine president made that clear from the outset whenever someone contacted her to request Javier Milei's presence at an event, a talk, or any other activity. That's what people who knew the Mileis in the years before he won the presidency recall even when the far-right economist was a congressman. As Milei gained fame through his extravagant television appearances, Karina began managing his schedule and, later, his income.
In the past 10 days, in the light and shadow of a corruption scandal engulfing the Milei government, that description takes on another significance, like a portent threatening to come true. In a series of leaked audio recordings, the ousted director of the National Disability Agency, Diego Spagnuolo until recently a friend and personal lawyer of Milei described the existence of a bribery network surrounding the state's purchase of medicines.
