Justice Opens Jésica Cirio’s Phone for Forensic Extraction

The forensic pull aims to find the original wardrobe video and metadata that could confirm the footage’s authenticity or support defense claims of illicit acquisition.

Overview

  • The formal extraction began Wednesday after Cirio provided her passcode and Gendarmería peritos worked with DATIP to unlock and copy the device.
  • Investigators are searching the phone for the wardrobe video plus messages, app data, browsing history, geolocation records and deleted files to establish when and where the footage was made.
  • Ocular inspections of properties in Las Cañitas and Fincas de San Vicente have been completed and peritos reported preliminary differences between the rooms inspected and the wardrobe shown in the circulated videos.
  • Defense teams have asked courts to exclude the videos, arguing the images came from a hack and lack a documented chain of custody, while prosecutor Sergio Mola has sought indagatories and arrests that Judge Luis Armella declined, instead imposing travel bans.
  • Next steps include DATIP’s technical analysis of the video, written perito reports on the property inspections and a planned accounting review, all of which will shape whether the footage is admitted and how the probe advances.
