===============================================================
The Ministry of Justice is seeking to make it mandatory for corporations for 90 days. This is called part of an anti-terrorism effort, particularly for cyber-terrorism. This is part of the government’s effort to join an international treaty against cyber crime and would permit police and prosecutors to demand that company’s maintain email records for up to 90 days even without a court order.
