Which one is correct?
"However, as I have mentioned a few days ago, data could well be the death nail for Ovivo"
"However, as I mentioned a few days ago, data could well be the death nail for Ovivo"
"However, as I have mentioned a few days ago, data could well be the death nail for Ovivo"
"However, as I mentioned a few days ago, data could well be the death nail for Ovivo"
Top answer
The present perfect does not work well with "a few days ago" so you should go with #2. Still, there are other issues to consider. "death nail" is not an idiom I'm familiar with, and you probably want "a nail in the coffin" instead.

- Also, it's not clear what data you're referring to and adding a modifier (determiner, prounoun) before it would probably make your sentence easier to understand.
