Overview

• Federal prosecutor Franco Picardi has roughly 50 audio files attributed to ex-ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo, delivered on a pendrive by journalist Mauro Federico, who says he received them on August 16 and released the first on August 19.
• Judge Sebastián Casanello’s case advances with forensic work on seized phones and procurement files, including devices linked to the Kovalivker brothers of Suizo Argentina, to test authenticity and possible overpricing tied to bribe payments.
• The government held an urgent coordination meeting in the Casa Rosada to manage fallout from the leaks and the prospect of additional material surfacing in the coming days.
• Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos rejected the idea of an insider leak, described the dissemination as a political operation potentially involving former intelligence figures, and said intelligence services and the courts should investigate.
• Short clips attributed to Karina Milei, reportedly recorded inside the Casa Rosada and published by Carnaval Stream, intensified political pressure ahead of the September 7 Buenos Aires provincial vote, with candidate Diego Santilli calling the situation of monumental gravity and urging a full judicial probe.
