The President of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, has set a condition for handing over his telephone communications to the judge investigating the management of the DANA storm. He wants to know first whether he will be treated as a witness or as a suspect. This decision delays the progress of the proceedings regarding the floods.
The Digital Traceability of Messages as Key Evidence 📱
In any judicial process, the chain of custody of digital data is essential. Messages and call logs must be extracted using forensic tools that guarantee their integrity. A computer forensics expert can recover metadata, locations, and timestamps. Without that traceability, any evidence loses its validity. Mazón seeks to ensure the court defines his role before opening that data box.
The WhatsApp That Never Arrives: Mazón and Express Bureaucracy 😅
Mazón says he will hand over the messages, but first he wants to know whether he will be a witness or a suspect. It's like going to a restaurant kitchen and ordering the menu only if you're assured you won't have to pay the bill. Meanwhile, those affected by the DANA storm wait for answers. Justice moves slowly, but dark humor never fails.
