The order explains that this is the only way to “prevent knowledge of the results of the proceedings” from giving rise to “interference or manipulation to hinder the investigation and frustrate its objectives”.

At present, according to two reports from the National Cryptologic Center, it is known that in the case of the president, the cell phone infection occurred on May 19 and 31, 2021; and in the month of June in the case of Robles, and that currently none of the cellphones analyzed show “indicators of ongoing Pegasus infection”.
