Judge Orders Exhaustive Forensic Exam of ANDIS Audios as Defense Refuses Voice Sample

The tests will probe editing, metadata gaps and AI voice‑cloning to decide whether the contested recordings can serve as evidence in the corruption probe.

Overview

  • Judge Ariel Lijo ordered a comprehensive pericia that on Wednesday, June 3 assigned Gendarmería Nacional and DATIP to carry out technical analyses with participation from court‑appointed and party experts.
  • Diego Spagnuolo’s defense appointed computer engineer Marcelo Torok and declined to provide 'material indubitado' for biometric voice comparison, while the defense has asked the court to revoke some forensic points proposed by the prosecutor.
  • Owners of Droguería Suizo Argentina and their lawyers asked forensic teams to test explicitly for AI manipulation, voice cloning and multiple generations or recompressions and requested Google/YouTube records for the file posted on the 'Carnaval Stream' channel.
  • The contested audios mention a 'desfalco', a '3%' payment tied to Karina Milei, Eduardo 'Lule' Menem and Suizo Argentina, but the recordings were not used to process Spagnuolo and the Kovalivker owners have not yet been indagated.
  • The court ordered strict digital chain‑of‑custody measures including hashes, access logs and bitácoras and required experts to disclose forensic tools used, a step that will determine whether the files are treated as admissible evidence and could shape how Argentine courts handle AI‑linked audio in future cases.
