  • Justice. Dina's statement that sank Iglesias before the judge: "Did he destroy the card so that you would not continue sending screenshots?" "You would have to ask her"

The report required by Judge Manuel García-Castellón to the Scientific Police attributes to a technique "used by specialized information recovery laboratories" the damage to the mobile card of Dina Bousselham, the former advisor to the second vice president of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, after he gave it back.

The expert report, to which Europa Press has had access, speaks of excessive sanding that caused damage to one of the tracks on Bousselham's memory card and that is the reason why the device cannot be accessed.

These conclusions remove the suspicions of a possible crime of computer damage caused by the second vice president of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, who the magistrate withdrew last May the condition of injured in the so-called Dina piece , one of those that make up the case Tandem on the alleged irregular activities of the retired commissioner in prison José Manuel Villarejo.

The piece originated in March 2019, after the National Police found documents of the former advisor at Villarejo's house that appeared to come from an extraction of data from her mobile phone, the theft of which she reported in November 2015.

The matter took a turn at the end of last May, when the head of the Central Court of Instruction number 6 of the National Court, Manuel García-Castellón, withdrew the condition of injured party from the vice president after verifying that he had the card of the his former advisor's cell phone for several months before returning it to him.

In addition, these conclusions coincide with the response given to the head of the Central Court of Instruction number 6 by the British company to which Dina's husband sent the mobile card that had been given to him by Iglesias to try to access its content, stating that he hadn't been able to do it at first. The firm was also unable to do so, although it acknowledged that the device had arrived physically intact and the company is responsible for part of the damages it presents.

Days later, the former adviser sent a letter to the court to partially change this version to "avoid misunderstandings that may have been generated." Thus, she remarked that once Iglesias returned the support, she was able to access its content, but that it was on the second attempt when it stopped working.

With this report, García Catellón sought to complete the proceedings to clarify the origin of the damage. The leader of Podemos gave the card to his then-adviser in the summer of 2016, months after he received it from the president of Grupo Zeta Antonio Asensio and almost a year after the then-adviser had her mobile terminal stolen.

Specifically, the judge asked the Scientific Police to make "an expert report on the damage and the causes or origin of the same, which is presented by the card provided to the proceedings" by the affected party.

Sanding the protective cover

As the report points out in its conclusions, the card has damage on the left rear side caused by sanding the protective cover, which exposes the direct connection points to the card's memory.

This, according to the experts, would be "compatible with an attempt to recover the contents of the memory once a failure has been detected in the card's controller that prevents its normal operation." Sanding, the report abounds, is usually done by using a fiberglass pencil or by very fine-grained sandpaper.

"The technique described (*) would be used by laboratories specialized in information retrieval from this type of device," he insists, adding that since the memory content cannot be read, it cannot be determined whether there was damage prior to the discontinuity found in the vestige, which parts are affected by them or the time when they occurred.
