"You'll have to edit the original interrogation/transcript and sign it"

IF this leaks are correct and true and not a fake leak, it sounds totally like two people conspirating to manipulate evidence against a third accusate of a crime, without his knowledge, and for unknown purposes.

We are talking of: correcting a typo? removing some parts?, adding other parts? adding a phrase that says something like "yes, I raped this women and enjoyed each second of it"?. Is horrible.

If proven true, this would be a serious issue that distroys the right to defence. Manipulating evidence is typified as a crime in most countries. They had a lot of things to explain.

On the contrary, I think this is more damning for Melzer: it seems inconclusive as proof for the accusations of "proactive manipulation of evidence", when he should really have had something more considering all the fuss he is raising.

Mind you, it might turn out the police did do malicious manipulation of evidence; but right now it seems more like Melzer is just trying to get publicity or something.
