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. ®
