The official version is the only version that had access to all the evidence, everyone else has an agenda.
It is true that the recorders were "out of any judicial control", they were with the DGAC, in fact they were taken from the scene by Daniel Tenenbaum, the head of the DGAC, news footage of the day confirms that.
Conspiracy theory people use this line of argument because in France a police like investigation takes place for aircraft accidents, their whole judicial system is different to what many are used to. People who make this claim are either ignorant of the process in France, or playing on others being ignorant of the process in France.
What in fact happened in the head of the DGAC, which is equivalent to the head of the CAA in the UK, or head of the FAA in the USA had possession of the boxes. The court then ordered the DGAC to hand over the boxes to the investigation, and as far as I understand they were then basically handed back to the DGAC for the technical analysis to commence.
It is my understanding that this process is not uncommon in France, as the investigation needs to be set up first before it can start accepting evidence.
Michel Asseline (the Captain) in his own book tries to blame everyone else, he also at the same time confirms much of the report by the Ministry of Planning, Housing, Transport and Maritime Affairs said the in official report.
