Prosecutor critical exculpatory Nordeadom - IDG.se

Godfrey Svartholm Warg was sentenced yesterday in the court of appeals to one year imprisonment for infringement of Logica’s mainframes. While the Court of Appeal chose to abolish the district court’s judgment in that part of the case relating to the infringement of the bank Nordea and fraud.

Class=”paragraphIntro”> Henry Olin at the international prosecution is the one who pushed the case against Godfrey Svartholm Warg in both the District Court and Court of Appeal. He is critical of the Svea Court of Appeal attached so much importance to the testimony of celebrity hacker and activist Jacob Appelbaum.

Appelbaum showed, else for the Court of Appeal that the settings in the firewall on Godfrey Svartholm Warg’s computer was such that the computer could be controlled remotely, for example via a software written in Python. His expert testimony also addressed ways to hide a remote control. Jacob Appelbaums testimony was not in court but was conducted during the final day of negotiations of the Court of Appeal.

– I can think it is unfortunate that the court did not make a better source criticism in relation to this evidence coming after five to twelve. Appelbaum has only studied the fragments of the investigation and draws very overconfident conclusions, says Henrik Olin.

He thinks judgment will mean that there are higher demands the prosecutor in the future to provide evidence in cases where a suspect claim that a computer involved in an intrusion has been remote.

– I think I have good evidence that it has not been remotely without the Godfrey Svartholm Warg who are behind, says Henrik Olin.

In most of trial dealing infringement against Logica has both appeal and the district court agreed to the prosecutor’s line and condemned one year in prison for hacking though Svartholm Warg denies.

– It ‘s been the absolute bulk of the pre-trial work and is a unique key. There’s no previous convictions regarding hacking at this level, says Henrik Olin.

difference in the both intrusions, according to the Court of Appeal that the interference against Logica ongoing for so long that it is not reasonable to believe that it acted on the remote control. In Logica case is also further evidence in the form of chats that police seized.

Yesterday, Godfrey Svartholm Warg defender Ola Salomonson for Computer Sweden that he and his client considering whether to seek leave to appeal the case in the Supreme Court. Although the prosecution should consider this possibility.

– But is the right special circumstances that a case can be relevant in the Supreme Court, says Henrik Olin.
