Any time you see from SPRUT is 100% cheated. He's been cheating in Hitman games since 2012 beginning with Absolutions leaderboards. He used to post 0 second completions in both the previous games. Hitman 2 leader boards have a minimum time check now that deletes 0 second completions, but it still allows impossible times and he's once again trying to find the minimum allowable number to show up as number 1 on the leaderboards, he's been doing it for 7 years now across 3 games.

There's numerous well known cheaters in the top 10.

If you want to see legit scores, get to know the speed running community, the real speed runners all either twitch stream or post youtube videos to prove they have real times.

Last time I checked the real world record for Sapienza is 49 seconds by FortheSeven (Frote7 on the leaderboards)

it takes longer than 49 seconds just to get TO the targets. Best real time I've seen PROVEN, is over one minute.

Up there is a vid showing it. I still wonder wth is happening in it. Like.... HOWWWWWWWWWWW?!! But at least its recorded.

I suppose that having a good starting position and disguise allows for those very short times. Are there also leaderboards for passing a vanilla level? Like, from the default position and with a disguise that gives no advantage?

Watch the video, he starts as a mansion guard which puts you right next to francesca then uses a bullet distraction to trigger the other target to run for lockdown, with a properly timed explosion you kill silvio while he runs into the house effectively coming to you without you going anywhere near the second target. The vial is destroyed with a properly timed explosion in the garage which drops the stalactite in the cave destroying the virus without going anywhere near it. A perfect run that takes no longer than running from the mansion guard start point to the exit while shooting a couple bullets and dropping some items in the right place at the right time. If you understand the lockdown and explosion timing it's perfectly reasonable. And you managed to ignore the video posted of how it's done.

I've even tested the methods he uses and while I can replicate each piece to show how it works I don't have the skill to string it together the way frote did it so my timing is slower than his perfect run . Realize also he did this live on stream after hours of practice running to get the timing perfect.

There's no point in denying he pulled it off when you can watch what he did and there were live stream witnesses.
