Overview
- In a Comodoro Py hearing, defense attorney Mauricio D’Alessandro said the recordings are false, edited or created with artificial intelligence, and not Spagnuolo’s voice.
- The defense requested annulment of the entire case, alleging privacy violations and possible illegal surveillance with international ties.
- Picardi opposed the request, arguing there is no evidence of illegal espionage and emphasizing that other elements support the investigation.
- Forensic analysts at DATIP reported prior deletion of data from Spagnuolo’s seized phone and an attempt to restore his WhatsApp account from another device the day before searches.
- The case remains under secrecy as the defense waits to access and test the audios, after Spagnuolo was removed from ANDIS by presidential decree when the leaks emerged in August.
