Overview
- Russia’s Foreign Ministry called in Ambassador Enrique Ignacio Ferrer Vieyra on September 8 to seek prompt explanations for Patricia Bullrich’s assertions linking Russian actors to the leaks.
- Moscow stated the allegations lack evidence and cautioned that such remarks undermine otherwise friendly relations.
- The Russian statement cited the Russia‑Argentina treaty on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters as the correct framework for cooperation.
- In Argentina, Judge Alejandro Maraniello issued a precautionary order restricting circulation of the recordings, while prosecutor Carlos Stornelli declined to censor media or authorize newsroom raids.
- The government expanded its complaint to request an investigation of the Uruguayan streaming channel Dopamina after it aired another audio, as the broader leak saga includes allegations by ex‑ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo that implicate Karina Milei.
