The publication went live at 1:28 am this Friday (13).

According to SheetSTF ministers assess that the conversation may have been recorded clandestinely. Some magistrates would have forwarded the report to Toffoli pointing out the existence of the alleged recording.

They also stated that the published excerpts would only include parts favorable to the minister, without reflecting the entire debate held in the reserved session.
