Overview

• The Russian Embassy in Buenos Aires categorically rejected any involvement in the recordings, calling the accusations unfounded and invoking the upcoming 140th anniversary of bilateral relations.
• A federal order by Judge Alejandro Patricio Maraniello prohibits media from disseminating the leaked audios attributed to presidential aide Karina Milei and former ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo.
• The Security Ministry filed a judicial complaint and requested raids on the Carnaval streaming channel and the homes of journalists Jorge Rial and Mauro Federico, as well as Pablo Toviggino and Franco Bindi, drawing censorship warnings from legal experts.
• Prosecutor Carlos Stornelli said the probe into possible illegal espionage will continue but affirmed constitutional protections for journalists’ sources and their domiciles absent a competent judge’s order.
• Patricia Bullrich linked the leaks to alleged Russian and Venezuelan intelligence and to a SIDE report on “La Compañía,” though no public evidence has been presented tying those actors to the specific recordings.
