"Six days before a key Buenos Aires election, a federal judge in Argentina has blocked journalists from releasing audio recordings of President Javier Milei’s sister, Karina, in the midst of a bribery scandal.
The order was issued Monday [Sept. 9] after a complaint by Milei’s government denouncing 'an illegal intelligence operation intended to destabilize the country in the middle of an electoral campaign,' according to a post on X by spokesman Manuel Adorni.
On Friday [Aug. 29] , journalist Mauro Federico of local streaming channel Carnaval published two brief clips of Karina that he described as the 'tip' of a much larger trove of recordings, totaling 50 minutes, that would be released over coming days. In one, Karina allegedly describes long work hours and in another, she urges unity. The clips were 'illegally recorded' inside the Casa Rosada presidential palace, Adorni said in his post."
