As experienced practitioners in the field of encrypted communication and lawful surveillance analysis, we issue this advisory to defense attorneys, law firms, and post-conviction advocates across Europe:
We are in possession of technical forensic evidence demonstrating that messages intercepted from EncroChat and SkyECC (SkyGlobal) — and subsequently used in thousands of criminal prosecutions — were not obtained through lawful or transparent means, and therefore do not meet the legal threshold for admissibility in court.
⚠️ Key Forensic Findings: Illegality in Evidence Acquisition
Both EncroChat and SkyECC platforms were compromised using methods that bypassed lawful interception protocols, lacked judicial transparency, and employed unauthorized firmware alterations and remote code execution on target devices.
The manner of data extraction failed to meet standards of forensic integrity, including violations of chain of custody, cryptographic authentication, and device-level validation, rendering the data forensically unreliable.
The procedures used to capture and process communications were either misrepresented or omitted in court disclosures — constituting a violation of procedural due process and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Right to a Fair Trial).
✅ Judicial Impact: Evidence Already Rejected in Multiple Jurisdictions
Our forensic documentation has already been introduced and accepted in legal proceedings in several European jurisdictions:
Germany: Appellate and constitutional courts have excluded EncroChat data in landmark decisions due to unlawful surveillance practices.
Italy: Charges based on EncroChat were dismissed following challenges over evidence integrity and acquisition legality.
Switzerland: Prosecutors were barred from proceeding where communications data could not be forensically or legally substantiated.
These precedents provide a powerful legal basis for defense teams seeking post-conviction relief or evidentiary suppression.
SkyECC: A Parallel Case of Procedural Breach
Similar to EncroChat, SkyECC (SkyGlobal) was the subject of coordinated surveillance efforts lacking proper judicial oversight. Authorities employed covert and extra-legal methods to capture user communications, presenting these messages as reliable evidence in court despite the absence of lawful interception authorizations or transparent forensic validation.
We have applied the same rigorous forensic audit standards to SkyECC data and found substantial procedural violations that mirror those already exposed in the EncroChat operation.
