From the cell phone of Alejandro Astesiano, former custodian of Luis Lacalle Pou, only less than 2% of the information had been recovered, according to prosecutor Gabriela Fossati at a court hearing last Friday, October 14.
At the beginning of the week, Fossati stated that there are some economic problems in the Prosecutor’s Office and that there was a “very traditional system” to translate some information that was in Russian, referring to the communications of Alexey Slivaev, a Russian accused in the same Astesiano case. .
Regarding the phone of the former custodian of Lacalle, Fossati had argued lack of time and budget because “it is very expensive” the entire process of unlocking electronic devices and extracting their information. “You have to pay for application services. It is very unfortunate for this Prosecutor’s Office, but it is something to which we are all exposed, “he asserted.
Now it was possible to get information
Despite all of the above, in the last few hours it emerged that, in the end, it had been possible to extract 100% of the data contained in Astesiano’s smartphone.
As reported on Twitter by the journalist from TV City Y M24, Diego Martini Lemos, set about restoring all of what the defendant had deleted before being arrested. “There will be no need to spend money or wait time, as prosecutor Gabriela Fossati pointed out.”
The UFED software license was used, an application that allows researchers to access, read and analyze the content of mobile devices that are protected behind complex passwords and encryption barriers, in addition to being able to recover deleted content.
UFED is available on multiple platforms:
- UFED 4PC: a low-cost software application for any user who requires data collection and access capabilities on their existing PC or laptop.
- UFED Touch2: enables comprehensive data collection (both logical and physical extractions) anywhere, whether in the lab, remote location, or in the field.
- Panasonic UFED Ruggedized Laptop: it’s a laptop that runs UFED software and comes in a specially designed rugged case that’s resistant to impact, shock, and extreme temperatures.
