We are concerned that per press reports, some of the mobile devices that were involved in the TelegramGate scandal may have passed through the Puerto Rico Department of Justice, but have not been retained there. (See “Primera declaración jurada que establece la posibilidad de delito en el #TelegramGate” alluding to the second paragraph of page 4 of this “Orden de Allanamiento para el teléfono de Raúl Maldonado.”)We are also concerned that authorities might be too focused on the Telegram App and are knowingly or unknowingly being too lax with other potential sources of chat evidence.
