Hacker case

In the 11 days since his arrest, the young man accused of hacking the List?n Diario website has not been able to see a lawyer, and his mother is only allowed visits in the company of five security guards. As a result, the judge of the Second Penal Court of the National District has ordered his presence in court. The young man, an employee of the IT department at the Banco de Reservas, is Hamlet Paul?s Montol?o, 27, who police have accused of hacking the newspaper?s online edition. Magistrate Alfredo Rio Fabi?n ordered that Paulus Montol?o be brought to court for a habeas corpus hearing. Paulus Montol?o was arrested by officials of the National Investigation Department (DNI) and has been held virtually incommunicado since.
