Federal Court Orders Forensic Review of ANDIS Audio in Divided Ruling

The appeals panel returned the case to Judge Sebastián Casanello to verify how the recordings were obtained and whether they are genuine before any nullity decision.

Overview

  • By majority, Judges Martín Irurzun and Roberto Boico revoked the lower court’s rejection of nullity motions, with Eduardo Farah dissenting.
  • The court directed new technical tests to establish the recordings’ origin and authenticity, including whether they were edited or generated in part with artificial intelligence.
  • The file goes back to Federal Court No. 11 for the ordered examinations, and the criminal investigation remains open during that process.
  • The defense argues the files lack metadata and show microcuts and acoustic inconsistencies, and a private expert report by Miguel Ángel de la Torre Guijarro cites 18 edits consistent with intentional manipulation.
  • Prosecutor Franco Picardi has said the recordings served to trigger the case but have not been given definitive evidentiary weight as other investigative measures proceed.
