The magistrate of the Supreme Court Ángel Hurtado, Instructor of the investigation opened for the revelation of secrets to the State Attorney General, He has already received a response from both Google and WhatsApp about the request he made to try to recover the content of the mobile phone of Álvaro García Ortiz, erased by this after being prosecuted.
The intention of Hurtado when requesting the collaboration of both companies is to recover the information sent and received by the telephone numbers of the Attorney General between March 8 and 14, 2024, Dates on which González Amador’s lawyer was leaked in which he admitted that his client had committed two fiscal crimes and offered to the Prosecutor’s Office a pact that would free him from jail. Legal sources point out that the magistrate has not yet accessed the folders with the information sent by the two companies, but the mere fact that they have responded to their request and have submitted documentation already considers it a success, given the doubts that were in that Google and WhatsApp went to attend their request.
As explained by the instructor in a car issued on Thursday, the response of the United States, to which WhatsApp data was claimed, was received yesterday through the Ministry of Justice and consists of two Zip folders, to which two writings accompany, one of them in English. The judge has commissioned the Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard to analyze the information, as it had already established that it should be done in “case it was successful, as it seems to have been, the Rogatory Commission released”, says the instructor.
This Wednesday the judge already opened a separate piece and commissioned the Civil Guard to analyze the documentation sent by the Irish authorities. At first he requested information from both Google and WhatsApp from the Irish justice, but warned him that he had to derive the request on the courier platform to the United States. To that separate cause, declared secret for a month, the response of the Irish authorities had already been previously incorporated.
