/11/argentina_extradites_spanish_hacker/
By John Leyden
11th April 2006
A hacker who's suspected of stealing hundreds of thousands
of euros
from online bank accounts has been extradited from Argentina
to Spain.
José Manuel García Rodríguez, 24, dubbed (rather
uncharitably) by the
Argentinians as "the fat Spaniard", faces up to
40 years imprisonment
if convicted of various cybercrime offences.
García Rodríguez (whose online handle is Tasmania) fled his
native
Spain two years ago. Nine international arrest warrants were
issued
against him before he was eventually tracked down and
arrested in
Carcarañá, Argentina in July 2005. ®
