Yes, this breaks both laws about unauthorized entry into personal computer records and laws about tampering with or destruction of evidence. My advice is to focus first on reconstructing the lost information from Yahoo, your attorney's "hard copy" records, the mediator, etc., and then on establishing proof of the tampering for possible use in court. When you've done this, with the help of your lawyer, you can return to your prospective case against the tampering.
