Overview
- The Federal Chamber’s Sala II faulted the lack of authentication of the recordings, reversed a prior refusal to address an AI‑alteration claim, and directed that their origin and veracity be examined.
- Newly assigned Judge Ariel Lijo must decide whether to order acoustic and digital expert analyses after hearing the parties, while the Chamber reviews appeals of the recent indictments.
- Prosecutors continue parallel financial‑crime inquiries with Procelac and are seeking access to corporate servers and emails, including those of Droguería Suizo Argentina, which has not been charged in the current ruling.
- Judicial sources say devices seized from Suizo Argentina are slated for opening in March to test whether the firm acted behind smaller suppliers; the company rejects the suspicion.
- Judge Sebastián Casanello’s processing of 19 defendants relied on independent evidence, including a four‑day reserved‑identity witness statement, as prosecutors avoided using the contested audios as central proof.
