The judicial investigation into the videos showing Jésica Cirio handling bundles of dollars has added a new chapter. A forensic report prepared by the Technical Analysis Laboratory of Telecommunications of the General Directorate of Investigations and Technological Support for Criminal Investigation (DATIP) concluded that it is not possible to confirm the authenticity of the recordings included in the case.
The analysis was conducted on a USB drive identified as "effect 50", which contained the seven videos presented as evidence in the case known as "Yategate", currently being processed in the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 2 of Lomas de Zamora.
According to the report, the specialists could not determine with certainty when the files were created nor verify their traceability from the moment they were recorded.
One of the main findings of the report was that the creation and last access dates of the videos correspond to June 24, 2026, the moment when the files were copied to the USB drive used for the forensic analysis and not at the time they would have been recorded. Additionally, the experts noted that the modification date of the files may have been altered before the analysis.
Another highlighted point in the report is the loss of the original metadata. The binary analysis revealed that the internal timestamps of capture were at zero, a situation that, according to the specialists, usually occurs when videos undergo some prior process, such as editing, format conversion, or sending via messaging applications. This technological mediation eliminates key information needed to reconstruct the origin of the file.
The specialists also warned that several videos had identical modification dates, even down to the hours, minutes, and seconds.
According to the technical interpretation, this behavior could be compatible with a manual modification of the metadata using specific tools or with a mass transfer from another file system.
