The scandal grows over the espionage of judges who investigated Kirchnerism

2023-04-11T15:11:39.655Z


Mariano Borinsky's cell phone was hacked on September 8 when he was analyzing the sentence against Lázaro Báez. It would be the same operation with which Marcelo D'Alessandro was intervened.


While the hacker Ezequiel Nuñez Pinheiro traveled from Eldorado by land to expand his investigative statement in the Buenos Aires justice accused of tapping the phone of the former Buenos Aires Minister of Security and Justice Marcelo D'Alessandro, in Comodoro Py there are three files that begin to have

links

with the cause that seeks

to unravel a network of alleged illegal espionage.

One of the complaints, in the Retirement Courts, was presented by the chambermaid

Mariano Borinsky.

His cell phone was hacked on September 8 when the last hearings prior to resolving the conviction of Lázaro Báez for money laundering were being held.

In the case it was confirmed that the operation to impersonate the judge and access his cell phone was carried out from Misiones.

The 22-year-old who from a town in Misiones received instructions via Telegram to

hack fifteen "targets"

-as he called them- confessed before the Buenos Aires judge Araceli Martínez and the prosecutor specializing in cybercrime, Daniela Dupuy, some of the names from the extensive list.

It included federal judges from Comodoro Py.

The explanation that will be extended this Tuesday before the magistrate was the following: a Telegram community called Dark PFA was selling RENAPER data.

He entered this group when a user asked him privately if he knew the technique called "SIM SWAP" or creation of twin SIM cards for cell phones.

In August of last year, and after an affirmative answer to that query, another user of the same application offered him a job

: hack fifteen people's cell phones.

For each "objective" he received 15,000 pesos.

When he revealed everything before the courts, Nuñez Pinheiro identified some names, including

Mariano Borinsky,

the judge of Chamber IV of the Chamber of Cassation.

On September 8, an email entered the mailbox corresponding to the Chamber of the highest criminal court that integrates the magistrate informing about the change of chip of his cell phone.

Someone had processed the change with the judge's personal data before the company that provided the cell phone service.

“That request was never made by me.

In the email it was clarified that if the new chip had not actually been requested, I should contact the company at the number *611.

The operation was unknown and communication was established with the company, which reported that the request was made through a self-management application or the internet at 3:45 p.m. on 9/8/22,” details the complaint filed by the judge.

At that time,

the cell phone company reported that a line with his number had already been activated and at that time the suspension of all lines linked to the magistrate was requested.

So it was that from 4:55 p.m. on September 8 until 2:30 p.m. the next day, Borinsky lost control of his cell phone.

The complaint fell to the court in charge of Marcelo Martínez De Giorgi,

who immediately asked the Directorate of Judicial Assistance in Complex Crimes and Organized Crime (DAJuDeCO), to "establish the identity" of the person responsible for having carried out the substitution maneuver of the cell chip.

The first reports stated that

the maneuver was carried out from Misiones,

but so far they have not managed to find the person responsible.

However, in federal justice, the Buenos Aires prosecutor Daniela Dupuy has already been asked for

the statement made by Ezequiel Nuñes Pinheiro

, who admitted that judge Mariano Borisniky was on the list of "targets" that he was asked to hack.

Judicial sources told

Clarín

that the next step is to "determine who gave the order and financed these tasks."

When the chambermaid lost control of his cell phone,

they were in Room IV concluding the hearings related to the conviction against Lázaro Báez, the former business partner of Cristina Kirchner.

In that file, known as

the K Money Route

, the owner of Grupo Austral was charged with twelve years in prison for having

laundered 55 million dollars.

The sentence was confirmed earlier this year.

That penalty was set at ten years,

confirming the entire laundering operation.

It must be remembered that Judge Marcelo Martínez De Giorgi is investigating two other cases where he seeks to determine if there were alleged illegal espionage maneuvers.

On the one hand,

the hacking of the cell phone of the judge of the Federal Oral Court 2 (TOF 2) Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu, one of those who tried Cristina Kirchner in the Highway case where she was sentenced to 6 years in prison. 

The request for a chip to be able to "get into" Giménez Uriburu's device occurred on September 13 -five days after what happened with Borinsky-.

The situation was denounced and with a similar action regarding what is being investigated as "digital identity theft" and the possible falsification of documents, it was determined that everything was carried out -once again-, from Misiones.

In third instance, Martínez De Giorgi is in charge of the complaint presented by the president of the Supreme Court of Justice,

Horacio Rosatti.

In this case, four telephone lines were activated in the name of the minister of the highest court.

As Clarín recounted, the judge in the case intervened this week with DAJUDECU to determine who was behind this maneuver.

In all cases there are at least two central facts.

Federal justice is concerned that these are members of the Judiciary who ended up being hacked victims "under an absolutely fragile system in its controls," said a judicial source.

On the other hand, all these objectives -added to other names such as Judge

Andrés Basso, also responsible for the conviction of Cristina Kirchner in the Highway case and

the chambermaid Gustavo Hornos, a member of the Cassation-, have in common having intervened in cases that directly involve the vice president.

In addition, all of them, highlighted in Comodoro Py "were denounced on various occasions" by the defense of the vice.

In addition, the case of Marcelo D'Alessandro, the former Buenos Aires minister, who was hacked and the dissemination of the alleged chats enabled the Government to promote a political trial against the Supreme Court of Justice, is added.

D'Alessandro left his position in the Buenos Aires management in the midst of the scandal despite the fact that a court ruling considered that the alleged chats could not be used judicially and with an expert opinion in favor that considered that after the hack, the chats could be adulterated.
