• The Russian embassy issued a formal statement rejecting links to the recordings, calling the accusations unfounded and warning against an "irrational" hunt for spies.
• Federal Judge Alejandro Patricio Maraniello granted an injunction that prohibits further publication of the alleged audios.
• The government filed a criminal complaint and asked to search the streaming channel Carnaval and the homes of journalists Jorge Rial and Mauro Federico, prompting a counter‑complaint accusing Security Minister Patricia Bullrich of abuse of authority.
• Prosecutor Carlos Stornelli said investigators must preserve reporters’ sources and refrain from intrusions without a well‑founded judicial order.
• The audios are circulating through foreign outlets such as Uruguay’s Dopamina, officials dispute whether they were recorded in Casa Rosada or the Chamber of Deputies, and experts question the evidence behind claims citing SIDE’s report on a group dubbed “La Compañía.”
