hard drive

James Howells, 39, has been trying to retrieve the hard drive containing his lost Bitcoin fortune, which he believes is in a Newport landfill site, for over a decade.

A police special investigations seized items including computer hard drives and footage from hotel cameras, said a government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Those videos, filmed by Pelicot and kept on a hard drive that he labelled “abuse”, document assaults on his ex-wife, Gisèle, over the course of a decade.

A police investigation found 28 Category A images on his laptop and one Category A image on an external hard drive belonging to him.

During a 10-hour search of four properties on Wednesday, investigators seized cash and other items, including luxury watches, laptops, hard drives and documents.
