Deleted Messages in ANDIS Probe Deemed Irrecoverable as Secrecy Extended

With key data unrecoverable, pending rulings now dictate the pace of a tightly sealed corruption inquiry.

Overview

  • Official DATIP examiners informed Judge Sebastián Casanello and Prosecutor Franco Picardi that deleted chats on Diego Spagnuolo’s primary phone cannot be restored due to the method used to erase them.
  • The case remains under a ten‑business‑day extension of secrecy, keeping the defense from accessing the file as investigators continue evidence collection.
  • Several seized devices are still being analyzed: Emmanuel Kovalivker’s phone remains locked without the passcode, Eduardo and Jonathan Kovalivker delivered phones without access keys, and Daniel Garbellini provided his code and his device is being opened.
  • The court is weighing defense motions from Suizo Argentina’s owners seeking nullity and claiming cosa juzgada, with a resolution pending that could be reviewed by the Federal Chamber.
  • The government says its internal audit at ANDIS is delayed because judicial raids seized key purchase records, and it is exploring legal avenues to obtain copies so auditors can proceed.
