This is what an order to open a criminal case looks like—one that can be used to conduct a personal search and a search of a home with the seizure of all devices belonging to every family member.

A complaint is filed on May 16. On May 17 at 9 a.m., a case is opened. There are no specific references to the “defamatory information,” nor any description of its content. No indication of why the information is “blatantly false.” Just some vague claim that certain “statements had no basis in reality.”

Naturally, there was no expert examination, not even a specialist’s opinion. Why bother with any of that? Better to move quickly with the search and seize the computers.
