Who is the 'Deep Throat' of the Videogate Scandal?

Following the release of a video allegedly showing conversations of individuals, discussion has arisen about who is the 'Deep Throat' of this particular incident, referring to the informant who leaked the material. The government has characterized the video as a hybrid attack, while the opposition is using it to escalate its criticism. Unlike the Watergate scandal, where the informant's identity was revealed after years, the source of the video remains unknown and there does not seem to be much interest in identifying it. The government has sought assistance from foreign capitals to identify the creators of the video, but it is unclear whether any investigation is being conducted into the possible existence of domestic collaborators. The existence of an initial informant is crucial for the revelation of any case. In this case, the informant is likely to be close to the individuals involved or to the places that are targeted. They may be disgruntled employees, rivals or even people acting on behalf of third parties.
