Supreme Court Chief Reasserts Free Speech as Injunction Blocks Publication of Karina Milei Audios

His remarks underscore concerns over a court order halting release of recordings tied to alleged bribery at ANDIS.

Overview

  • Judge Alejandro Maraniello issued a precautionary injunction that forbids disseminating audios recorded in the Casa Rosada attributed to Karina Milei across all media and social platforms, citing privacy, honor and institutional security.
  • The government filed a complaint alleging an illegal intelligence operation, prompting a federal case assigned to Court No. 12 with prosecutor Carlos Stornelli.
  • Supreme Court president Ricardo Lorenzetti said freedom of expression is central to democracy and stressed that the Court’s jurisprudence on the issue has not changed.
  • Jurists and media organizations, including ADEPA, condemned the injunction as unconstitutional prior censorship, while former justice Juan Carlos Maqueda called the ruling lamentable.
  • The Senate’s media and free-speech committee met with journalists named in complaints to discuss safeguards for press work and plans to revisit the issue next week.
