Jonan Secretly Remotely Accesses Amaia's Computer

Jonan Secretly Remotely Accesses Amaia's Computer is the discovery that Amaia Salazar’s trusted deputy had repeatedly entered her work computer without telling her. The access was not a single unexplained incident: investigators found twenty remote sessions in one month, including access to her email and stored folders and the copying of files. Its significance sharpened when Internal Affairs established that Jonan had accessed her email shortly before and on the morning of a compromised search, giving him knowledge of information Amaia had suspected was leaked from her team.

Discovery During the Inquiry

The disclosure came during questioning by Internal Affairs. An information-technology specialist told Amaia that investigators had detected remote access by Jonan, her deputy, on as many as twenty occasions in the previous month. The finding unsettled her. Jonan worked closely with her, but she had not known that he was entering her computer remotely.

The inquiry was already focused on a search whose target appeared to have learned in advance that it was coming. Amaia acknowledged that she had suspected someone at the Elizondo station, more specifically someone on her own team, of warning the person under investigation. Internal Affairs then connected that suspected leak to Jonan’s computer access. The revelation thus arrived not as an abstract breach of workplace privacy, but as a possible explanation for how confidential investigative information could have reached an intended search target.

How the Access Worked

Investigators described the method as a TeamViewer remote connection. It gave Jonan access to Amaia’s email and some of the folders where she stored material; the technician also reported that Jonan copied files. According to the explanation given to Amaia, the arrangement required both computers to be switched on, an application to be installed on the computer being controlled, and permission to be accepted there through a key. The access had to be initiated from the station, where Jonan could use his ordinary proximity to Amaia’s computer.

That circumstance made their working relationship essential to the mechanics of the intrusion. Amaia confirmed that Jonan had daily access to her equipment because he was her deputy and often worked in her office. She had never seen him touch the computer in a way that alerted her to remote access. What had looked like routine professional closeness had also created the conditions for a concealed entry: Jonan did not need to break into an unfamiliar office or obtain access from elsewhere when his position brought him to her desk and workstation.

Connection to the Compromised Search

Internal Affairs identified a specific overlap between the access records and the suspected leak. The search order concerned a particular file that had been destroyed in what its responsible party called a cleanup before dawn; that file alone had been burned. Amaia admitted that she had suspected a member of her team might have warned the subject of the search. Investigators told her that Jonan had accessed her email the preceding night and again that morning. From that timing, they concluded that he knew the relevant information.

The discovery established access and opportunity, not what Jonan did with what he saw. The investigators’ statement that he knew about the information was a consequence of the recorded access; the evidence presented in the questioning did not show that he had passed it on, identify a recipient, or establish why he had entered Amaia’s computer. The compromised search therefore turned the access record into a serious lead without resolving the central question of responsibility for the warning.

Amaia’s Response and the Unresolved Breach

Amaia tried to preserve another interpretation. She asked whether the access could have been accidental and suggested that Jonan might have been trying to send her a file, perhaps photographs too large for her to download. The technician rejected accident as an explanation: the remote application had to be installed and the temporary access explicitly authorized from the controlled computer. Internal Affairs likewise emphasized that the sessions were repeated, not incidental, and that Jonan had never informed her.

Her defense of him persisted even as each technical detail narrowed the room for it. She did not deny that she had suspected someone from her team in connection with the leaked search; she questioned why that suspicion should implicate Jonan. When investigators pointed out that he had accessed her computer twenty times in a month without her knowledge, they asked whether he had ever told her. Amaia said he had not. The exchange left her loyalty visible beside the evidence against it: she continued to look for an innocent explanation, but could not produce one that fitted the mechanics or frequency of the access.

The episode changes the meaning of Jonan’s place in Amaia’s professional life. He was not simply a subordinate who happened to be near her computer: he had the access, technical means, and opportunity to examine her investigative material without her awareness. Yet the inquiry stops short of supplying a motive or proving that the remote sessions caused the leak. Its force lies in that unresolved division between established conduct and uncertain purpose. Amaia’s trust is confronted with a precise record of secrecy, while the question of what Jonan intended remains open.
