• Security Minister Patricia Bullrich linked the recordings to Russian and Venezuelan intelligence based on a SIDE probe and said the audio was captured inside the Casa Rosada.
• Federal Civil and Commercial Judge Alejandro Patricio Maraniello ordered a ban on further dissemination of the recordings attributed to Karina Milei.
• The government filed criminal complaints and asked to raid the Carnaval streaming channel and the homes of journalists Jorge Rial and Mauro Federico, plus executive Pablo Toviggino and lawyer Franco Bindi.
