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.
