US Court Denies Evolution Sanctions Request

The Atlantic County court in New Jersey rejected a request from provider Evolution to impose sanctions on the intelligence agency Black Cube over an alleged failure to fully comply with a court order to disclose documents related to payments from Playtech.

Review of Evolution’s Claims

Evolution insisted on sanctions, arguing that Black Cube had provided incomplete information in response to the court request. The dispute concerned documents linked to payments received from Playtech.

Court’s Position on Disclosure

The judge concluded that Black Cube had properly responded to the initial court request. According to the court, the agency fulfilled all requirements explicitly stated in the court order.

Additional Payment Information

Further details about the payments emerged later during the questioning of Black Cube director Avi Yanus. However, the court noted that this information fell outside the scope of the original request and was not subject to mandatory disclosure.

Rejection of Business Data Protection Request

The court also rejected Evolution’s attempt to restrict Black Cube from accessing information on the company’s clients, contracts, and financial data. The agency’s counter-requests were deemed permissible.

Further Procedural Steps

At the same time, the court allowed Evolution to continue the questioning of Avi Yanus as part of the ongoing case.
