Investigations and legal proceedings regarding corruption and illicit enrichment involving former officials are unfolding across several countries.

In Argentina, authorities have conducted audits into the former National Disability Agency (Andis), revealing that approximately 40% of funds spent on medicines and supplies between 2024 and August 2025—totaling $192 billion pesos—were paid to companies suspected of forming a criminal association to defraud the state. Further legal developments include the upcoming trial of Máximo Kirchner in the Los Sauces SA case, where prosecutors allege the use of a family real estate firm to launder funds derived from public works fraud.

In Panama, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office is investigating former directors Publio De Gracia and Enrique Lau Cortés for suspected illicit enrichment. Investigators are examining whether foundations established in the names of relatives were used to purchase high-value properties to conceal the origin of funds.

In Spain, former President of the Community of Madrid Ignacio González is facing trial in the Lezo corruption case. The prosecution alleges that officials improperly modified contracts to favor a construction firm, which in turn provided illicit benefits to companies linked to González’s relatives.
