Argentina’s President Javier Milei hit by corruption claims tying his sister to alleged bribes

Argentina's President Javier Milei faces growing public outrage amidst corruption allegations involving his sister, Karina, and the country's Disabled Services Agency. Audio recordings have emerged suggesting a bribery scheme in which Karina Milei allegedly accepted kickbacks from pharmaceutical sales. This scandal comes as the government implements stringent austerity measures, suspending benefits for tens of thousands of subsidy recipients. The controversy has sparked protests, with Milei's campaign caravan being attacked and his sister forced to flee a public appearance. As investigations unfold in Congress and the judiciary, many families who depend on state-provided healthcare and therapies now face profound uncertainty about their future support. The scandal has dented Milei's approval ratings and challenged his campaign promises to combat corruption, leaving many Argentines disillusioned with their new leadership.
