Rial and Federico Testify in Congress, Pledge New Evidence as Court Limits Audio Leaks

A partial court order restricting audios attributed to Karina Milei has triggered a showdown over press freedoms.

Overview

  • Opposition deputies autoconvened the Freedom of Expression commission to hear Jorge Rial and Mauro Federico, who denounced state pressure and received public backing.
  • Judge Alejandro Patricio Maraniello granted a limited injunction ordering the cessation of the diffusion of audios recorded in Casa Rosada attributed to Karina Milei.
  • The government filed criminal complaints, requested raids on the journalists and a streaming channel, and alleged links to foreign intelligence, which the reporters rejected.
  • Federal prosecutor Carlos Stornelli requested an investigation into the complaint but stressed that the probe cannot inquire into journalists’ sources.
  • Rial and Federico said they will release documentary material, including chats and screenshots, that purport to show incentive mechanisms to cut disability pensions at ANDIS.
