I think the most troubling aspect of this case is that the FBI modified the computers systems before Ireland seized them as evidence. It seems absurd that law enforcement can effectively tamper with evidence before it is secured, then use that tainted evidence as part of a prosecution.

Is there any indication that this evidence is used? This was under discussion around the Bundestrojaner in Germany whether such a computer can be used as evidence. I doubt that this won't come under severe scrutiny at least in Germany.
