Authorities also said Europol confirmed there was no record of communications between the complainant and a former judge referenced in the case.
Testimony and investigation findings
Investigators said the individual known as “Sandy” admitted in testimony that certain messages were created using a mobile application and demonstrated how they were produced.
Police further noted that claims of travel and abuse were not supported by medical or investigative evidence.

Claims described as fabricated
The Police Chief said the claims were false and fabricated, adding that digital tools had been used to generate misleading messages.
He further noted that telecommunications data examined during the investigation were not authentic, while allegations of surveillance and interference were found to be unfounded.
