An emergency meeting took place at the Casa Rosada on Saturday as President Javier Milei’s government reacted to the leak of another damaging audio recording.
Cabinet officials and top advisers were summoned to Government House for talks on how to address the controversy, which erupted after a domestic streaming outlet released audio recordings that allegedly capture private conversations inside the Casa Rosada.
One of the clips features a voice attributed to Presidential Chief-of-Staff Karina Milei. In it, the President’s sister – who is at the centre of a developing corruption scandal – appeals for unity from government officials and says she is working long hours.
The situation has caused deep concern within the ruling party, which is seeking to contain the political fallout and prevent the leaks from escalating.
Rumours abide that further audio and video clips could be published in the following days. Casa Rosada sources privately acknowledge that the situation could worsen in the days ahead.
Government officials are angry at the leak and concerned that their conversations behind closed doors may no longer be private.
Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni branded the leak “an unprecedented scandal.”

So what's this? That's a lot of strong sounding words that doesn't day anything. Why are these recordings scandalous, and what's the corruption they reveal?
The audio recordings, published on Friday by Carnaval Stream, feature Karina Milei urging unity within the government. “We are not going to get into a fight, we have to stand united, just imagine,” she is heard saying.
In another excerpt, the Presidency’s secretary general describes her working day of over fifteen hours. “Because I go in at 8am and leave at 11pm from the Casa Rosada,” she says in the eight-second clip.
Unlike the Spagnuolo audios, Karina’s recordings make no mention of bribes or alleged irregularities at ANDIS. The official only appeals for cohesion within the ruling team.
Presenter Mauro Federico, who made them public, said these clips were just “the tip of the iceberg” and that more recordings could be released in the coming days.
Who could have guessed the idiot with the funny hair would be corrupt.
