"Mass deletion of data"’ on former Bank of Cyprus execs’ computers
Smoking gun but no fingerprints, apparently.
Alvarez and Marsal, the firm tasked with investigating why Bank of Cyprus and Laiki sought state assistance,
said the information provided by BoC was incomplete and data deleting software were found on the computers of two senior executives.
Our computer forensic technologists have found that the computers of two employees, (former CEO) Mr. (Andreas) Eliades and (senior manager group treasury and private banking) Christakis Patsalides, have had wiping software loaded, which is not part of the standard software installations at the BoC, A&M said.
Mass deletion of data appears to have been undertaken on the Patsalides computer on October 18, 2012.
The firm said some deletion had taken place after a data preservation notice was issued to BoC by the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) on August 21, 2012.
