stated:

"INTERPOL's report also emphasized that the remit of its technical examination was not to evaluate the accuracy or the source of the exhibits’ content."

So, in other words, they could have been given a laptop with any old shit on it. All they had to do is verify that there was no "tampering."

Guess if it was put there in the first place by the Colombians, that would be pretty much guaranteed!

"However, between 1 and 3 March, direct access to the seized computer exhibits by Colombia's first responder anti-terrorist unit in order to view and download their contents did not follow internationally recognized principles in the handling of electronic evidence under ordinary circumstances."
