The Crime Chamber ratified that the violation of an email is a crime of "federal" competence, since according to legislation and jurisprudence an e-mail is the same as a conventional mail letter.
This was resolved by the members of the Sixth Chamber of the Chamber of Crime, Marcelo Lucini and Mario Filozof, when unlocking a question of jurisdiction between an investigative court and a federal court.
The case is linked to the violation of the email of a minor, whose identity was kept confidential.
The case initially fell to the court of instruction number one, in charge of Judge Miguel Salvá, who understood that it should be his colleague from the federal jurisdiction Sergio Torres who should take charge of the investigation.
The Chamber, citing recent sanction legislation and Supreme Court rulings, understood that "the alleged illegitimate access to an email account could constitute a violation of correspondence, a matter of exclusive competence of the Emergency jurisdiction."
