It should be mentioned that the hacker will have to comply with a probationary period of 36 months, which is the time that he needs to finish his sentence.

Andrés Fernando Sepúlveda was sentenced after accepting his responsibility for the crimes of conspiracy, abusive computer access, aggravated personal data breach, espionage and use of malicious software.

The 10-year sentence was established by a preliminary agreement that Sepúlveda made with the Prosecutor’s Office, in exchange for providing information about these events, which occurred in 2014, in the middle of the presidential campaign of the then candidate of the Óscar Iván Zuluaga Democratic Center in the that Sepúlveda had been hired.

In that year, on May 5, the hacker was captured for being the head of an office for illegal interceptions that, according to the investigating entity at the time, had the objective of sabotaging the peace process.

It should be remembered that Sepúlveda had sought to have his process received in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), his request for submission was rejected in September of this year by that justice, because it considered that the facts for which he was convicted did not have a direct or indirect relationship with the armed conflict.
