There is a first time for everything. First steps, first words, first date, first kiss, first shot, first cigarette, first sex, first job, first marriage, first child, first divorce. These are events that almost all of us have experienced, and if the gentleman with the German name doesn't take those memories away, we like to return to them. Apart from them, there are people to whom life brought something with an extra bonus. It's the first trial, the first criminal report, possibly the first probation or prison, simply events that, if they don't kill you, will definitely make you stronger.
Until the end of February 2020, I belonged to the first group. Like Mr. Anderson from The Matrix, I was a regular citizen up until then, paying taxes and regularly taking out my sorted waste. Unlike him, I did not lead any other computer life and until those events at the end of 2019, I can say that working for Radio ГА / ГA was a hobby for me.
With sacred respect for its unquestionable historical traditions, I was even properly loyal to him.
I filed my first in a series of criminal reports on 3/20/2020, ten days before my official last day at work. The reason was the downplaying of #RC's ("Remotely Controlled") illegal actions against me by the legal department, specifically #LA ("Leklá Andělka"), and based on their letter dated 2/20/2020 (see below) in which she fully defended him .
It was an irony of fate that the successful hacking attack by the Russian "bad guys" on 7/10/2019 against the highest officials here ultimately led to my dismissal, on the contrary, the subsequent botched hacking act of my superior #RC("Remotely Controlled") on 17/2/2020 to me, admittedly to such an insignificant person, was justified as "a necessary sacrificial act to preserve the mission of Radio ГA / ГA". This well-thought-out action of him against me it didn't have any weakness for him from the beginning - I couldn't get into the computer remotely, because he blocked my access to it, I couldn't get into the building and the office, because I was "impeded by the employer". They expected I will not have any courage to resist - they seemed to talk themselves - "look at him".
The experiences of the past years simply spoke of them.
In Prague on February 25, 2020
Dear Sir,
thank you for your initiative dated February 18, 2020, with which you contacted Radio ГA / ГA, stating that there may have been unauthorised access to your IT XYZ computer by your supervisor, Mr. #RC ("Remotely Controlled" ), and therefore to a breach of personal data security with a risk to your rights and freedoms in the sense of the relevant provisions of the GDPR.
We immediately started an internal investigation into the complaint. However, according to our findings so far, there was no violation of personal data security that would result in a risk or even a high risk for the rights and freedoms of natural persons in the sense of the relevant provisions of the GDPR.
Due to your absence from the workplace and the absence from the workplace of your colleague as well (due to incapacity for work), Mr. #RC("Remotely Controlled") had to continue to ensure the smooth operation of the Radio ГА / ГA IT network, necessary for the operation of the entire company . Mr. #RC("Remotely Controlled") had to create new email accounts and identities in the LN application in a specific emergency situation. For this purpose, Mr. #RC("Remotely Controlled") has decided, in this particular urgent situation, to use your workstation with the software, only to the extent absolutely necessary to ensure the continuous operation of the IT systems of Radio ГA / ГA and to the above creation of new email accounts and identities of new employees.
Radio ГA / ГA is therefore of the opinion, based on investigations to date, that the subject access to the IT system of Radio ГA / ГA was necessary and justified in a specific case in order to ensure the smooth operation of Radio ГA / ГA. This approach was implemented only to the extent necessary.
Radio ГA / ГA attaches great importance to the area of personal data protection and makes every effort to ensure that there are no violations of relevant legal regulations under any circumstances. For this reason, and for reasons of caution, even though we do not think that in this case there was a breach of personal data security that would result in a risk for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we reported the matter to the "Bureau for personal data protection" (on February 20, 2020). This step was taken by Radio ГA / ГA for the sake of legal certainty and from the position of a responsible administrator in the event that it later became clear that its previous conclusions were not correct, based on information that at the moment is not available to Radio ГA / ГA, or is was not enough to check in such a short time.
And, of course, your personal data will continue to be protected by all available and usual means in the given situation, in accordance with the relevant legal regulations. If, as part of the ongoing internal investigation of your complaint, information and evidence should come to light that would lead Radio ГA / ГA to a different conclusion than the one it currently supports, Radio ГA / ГA will proceed in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
Sincerely,
Blah, blah
About the fact that Radio ГA / ГA had the right to use me directly, still their employee, who was squatting at home on 4.5. km from them and awaited his fate, "not even ashes" were mentioned here. In the text of the answer, they deliberately avoided the fact that my superior at the time still used his position to break into my computer and gained access illegally. On the contrary, his limitless dedication and sense of duty were covertly praised.
As we were not satisfied with this explanation #LA ("Leklá Andělka"), my sister, in the position of my legal representative, wrote an email to her well-paid law firm, from which on 6/3/2020 #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko" ) wrote in this his answer:
(i) Radio ГА / ГА denies that it has committed any illegal act against your client. It always acted in accordance with the applicable law.
(ii) With regard to the constant jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic and the European Court of Human Rights, Radio ГA / ГA states that it is entitled to control the performance of work by the employee and the management of funds employer, including the use of IT resources by employees. This also applies to checking the usage of e-mail. When performing an inspection, Radio ГА / ГA always respects the employee's privacy. If Radio ГА / ГА conducted an inspection in relation to your client and his violation of work discipline, it proceeded in accordance with applicable legal regulations.
(iii) Radio ГA / ГA rejects as unreasonable that it would in any way intentionally and knowingly check the content of the private mail of both your client and other persons. it didn't do anything like that in relation to your client.
In particular, I would like to point out point (ii) If Radio ГА / ГА conducted an inspection in relation to your client and his violations of work discipline, it proceeded in accordance with the applicable legal regulations." If he omitted our different legal opinions on the matter, to which we both have a democratic right, his sentence above confirms our suspicion that the computer was snooped on, not that it was selflessly worked on.
Inexpertly, I therefore collected all the evidences related to this incident, I carefully put it in an envelope and under the label "Suspicion of the commission of criminal acts specified in Act no. 40/2009 Coll. - Criminal law against the rights to the protection of personality and letter secrecy" and sent it on 20.3.2020 to the district department of "helpers and protectors" (police department). The reason I stated was that by reading my private email correspondence, the particular perpetrator had access to conversations between me and my legal representative, between me and my future potential employers, as well as communications with my friends, family, attending physician and employment agencies, to banking information and other information of a personal nature. He probably forwarded the information from these private accounts of mine from his fictitious email account that he set up for this purpose.
Just "cyberstalking" as embroidered, I thought. Apropos, for those of you who have been troubled by this issue for a long time, I highly recommend this article and the publication of Lt. Col. doc. JUDr. Jana Koloucha, PhD.
Still unkissed in this area, I waited to see what the next few days would bring me. My days here were numbered, COVID 19 was starting to take its first human and economic victims, and companies were not exactly rushing to hire new people in this situation. Things were not going well for me and I badly needed good news.
On April 14, 2020, I was contacted by an unnamed police commissioner with a request to add information to the announcement. It seemed logical to me that he would be particularly interested in the subject of interest, my company computer. I tried to be consciously civically helpful and tried to point him in the "right direction". At the same time, I pointed out to him that, according to my information, Mr. #RC("Remotely Controlled") is already "ringing the edge" and the ground is burning under his feet, and that I suspect that this last desperate act of his led to (his?) "movement in mind', and that he will soon leave his 'dream job' and our 'meadows and groves'.
No, I am not a Sibyl, but my assumption and information have only been confirmed.
April 30, 2020 was his last day here. There is no need to emphasise that a few days before, members of his tribe sent an email to all stations about his more than 22-year efforts to move "IT department" of Radio ГA / ГA in the right direction.
Technology Division
#RC("Remotely Controlled"), Radio ГА / ГА's Information Technology Director, is leaving the Company after 20+ years. Over the past two decades, he has had a broad range of accomplishments that have helped Radio ГА / ГА advance technologically. His last day is April 30. Thank you, for all of your work.
We all held back a tear and waited for what the next days would bring us. I didn't want to believe that it would end so easily, but I still believed in the independence of the courts and in elementary justice. Naively and for everyone.
When nothing happened after 2 months and my first, this time court hearing was coming unstoppably, I contacted the "helpers and protectors" (criminal police) again on 4/6/2020 with a question, which could be briefly called "WTF" for short?
I was told almost immediately that the body was being tested for lacerations and that they had no results for me yet. Well, time is difficult, you have to wait for the boy, I said to myself. However, my question moved their investigation, and in an attempt to make a point, they contacted Radio ГA / ГA, as if what do they think of my accusation?
In addition to their quite expected answer in the sense of "we are innocent, it's him", nd arguments about how I am trying to damage their indisputable reputation with my announcement "ala fallen snow", they already searched for unemployed #RC("Remotely Controlled") asking for help.
Unfortunately, I have to rely on fiction here, since I did not know when he was creating and signing his affidavit, in which he explains his desperate action as a heroic act, for which the unfree countries all over the world should be grateful to him.
However, the essential thing is the fact that it appeared on the day I raised my question to the investigator regarding the status of the submission investigation and that it appeared at a time when he was no longer an employee of Radio ГA / ГA.
So I will believe that he did so out of his deep moral principles, and not because he was directly contacted by them, or God forbid was directly contacted by his former employer. However, after writing this pamphlet, which became one of the most important documents of theirs and had the biggest part in my loss in the court case between me and Radio ГA / ГA, #RC(“Remotely Controlled”) is moving behind a big puddle after a month. Of course, as is the custom with super-humans - at his own request and based on his grief for the loved ones who stayed here for 22 years.
I will discuss the fate of this document several more times in future posts. But it will be in connection with other court hearings and other criminal reports that followed in the next months and years.
But let's take a closer look at his motives for writing this affidavit of his. In this part, which was created by the official translation ordered from Radio ГA / ГA, it is possible to see that, most likely, he already knew about the criminal complaint at the time of signing on June 4, 2020 in front of the notary.
Another interesting part of this legal act of his it is the sentence that makes this statement of his a personal statement, and here it is good to focus on the sentence with details of the dates when he went to "work" on my computer in my absence.
The fact that someone does not speak Czech after 22 years of living in a foreign country is a sad thing, but unfortunately possible. Much harder to understand, however, is the fact that after such a long time in the position of IT manager, he was unable to install the necessary software on his computer. I am not even talking about the ID files stored in his vault, or the method and policy of distributing the ID files that he would have thanks to his several security certificates, which he boasted about on LINKEDIN until my appeal against this claim of his.
Thanks to the fact that we took advantage of the opportunity to look at the files of both institutions, we found that this affidavit of his, sent at the request of the investigators, was dated by Radio ГA / ГA compared to the original in such a way that from his original, more rather than a year's worth of "cyberstalking" to which he admits under oath, it became only an "insignificant" one of several weeks.
Here I also recommend that you notice the manipulation of the numbering in the original files, to which we also, this time in court, understandably objected.
Although I, as a subspecies, have NEVER had a chance to comment on anything in this whole case, another superhuman, this time #JS("Joints Smoker"), has provided both the investigators and and subsequently to the court, another affidavit.
As time went on inexorably and we, in the form of difficult insects, kept attacking the integrity of Radio ГА / ГА in and out of court, and because probably all the notaries in the country were on strike at that time, his statement was provided to the files with the contribution of #LA ("Leklá Andělka") and #MV ("Mgr. Prasátko") only electronically - in the form of an MS Word document and of course without a signature.
By the way, who would dare not to believe the words of another superman here? Or that at the time of its writing, its author no longer resided here? Who then guided his hand?
Unfortunately, we will not find that out, because the independent judge #JH ("Dr. Hustá") did not allow us to ask #RC ("Remotely Controlled").
Although I may give the impression of a storyteller in my stories, begging for a happy ending in them, unfortunately I did not succeed this time either.
The investigation took more than 2 years. It was even terminated once, mainly due to the clarification of my role in this case by the legal department of Radio ГA / ГA. Even thanks to our appeal and the contribution of the unnamed supervising prosecutor, the investigation had to be continued at that time. At the same time, what we pointed out from the beginning happened, namely that there is a real risk that the evidence, i.e. the computer, will be tampered with. In the end, it changed "owners" and "investigators" several times during that time.
While I was informed that it was "unmoved" after the incident, #JS("Joints Smoker") in his unsigned statement and internal investigation report unfortunately states that he "extracted the drive and data". Thanks to this, the investigators necessarily had to conclude that the evidence had probably been manipulated. Could it be a coincidence again?
After 2 years of investigation, I was even willing to accept the fact that although there was some suspicious communication between my former computer and the public mail portal "seznam.cz" during the incriminated period and as the investigators stated, it was said that it was impossible to mark it unequivocally as successful.
Holt, "presumption of innocence", is what it is called today in modern times due to the lack of evidence.
But what I was not willing to accept they were the conclusions of the investigation - that it was not actually a criminal act, that the employer had the right to do so and had not committed anything. That I received this opinion on the eve of the appeal court hearing regarding the invalidity of my statement was just a small cherry on the cake that started baking at Radio ГA / ГA in December 2019.
In conclusion, allow me to repeat #KF's ("Kristína Fšecko") response to my letter dated 25.1.2020 and marked by her on 7.2.2020. In the light of the events described above she speaks about the high moral standards of Radio ГA / ГA:
How did their Sisyphean effort continue? More on that next time, if there is any.
