EncroChat
EncroChat was an encrypted based communication platform that was almost impossible to crack by law enforcement agencies. However, this now defunct platform has been accessed by agencies globally, what does this mean for users?
What do you need to know about EncroChat?
EncroChat is a communication network hailed as the most secure. It offered high-level encryption, operated on encrypted Aquarius devices, and allowed data to be erased very quickly in the event of an emergency.
Yet, it is not a crime to use an EncroChat phone or other encrypted communications. Indeed, many people use them and other encrypted channels like WhatsApp because they are concerned for their privacy in today’s online world.
However, since the coordinated EncroChat arrests made by the UK Police force, and the National Crime Agency in July last year, many users have been charged with a crime, with many more becoming worried about their legal position.
Also, it is important to also remember that arrests do not mean guilt, and many people are found not guilty when their trial goes to court and are acquitted. Although, working with an expert lawyer that is experienced in complex and serious criminal cases is essential if you want to maximise your chance of a positive outcome. Indeed, if you were involved in the July EncroChat arrears or are concerned about your EncroChat usage, then getting guidance from a legal expert as soon as possible is essential.

How most EnrcoChat cases are conducted is that they use evidence from the system to demonstrate criminal conspiracy. Conspiracy is when two or more persons make an agreement to commit a crime and intend to carry it out. Conspiracy can be related to a wide range of serious crimes including:
- Conspiracy to murder
- Conspiracy to defraud
- Conspiracy to rob
- Conspiracy to steal
- Drugs conspiracy
To be found guilty of criminal conspiracy the prosecution will need to prove that you agreed to a specific role. That is why seeking specialist advice from an expert criminal defence team early on is so crucial. Indeed, it can mean the difference between acquittal and conviction.
