Overview

• Federal civil and commercial judge Alejandro Maraniello granted an injunction at the Executive’s request ordering the halt of any further publication of audios attributed to Karina Milei said to be recorded in the Casa Rosada.
• The Security Ministry filed a criminal complaint alleging illegal intelligence and asked to search the streaming channel Carnaval and the homes of journalists Jorge Rial and Mauro Federico, as well as Pablo Toviggino and lawyer Franco Bindi; the case was assigned to Federal Court 12, currently subrogated by Judge Julián Ercolini.
• Opposition parties denounced the measures as unconstitutional prior restraint, and a Senate commission on media and free expression publicly rejected the government’s strategy while critics highlighted complaints pending against Judge Maraniello.
• Government officials characterize the leaks as an espionage operation tied to destabilization before the election, with Patricia Bullrich suggesting foreign involvement in media interviews and pledging to expand the complaint.
• Despite the scandal, supplier Suizo Argentina remains active in two public tenders totaling about ARS 1.378 billion for police medications, and a Uruguayan stream posted a new audio of Karina Milei on Tuesday despite the injunction.
