Five years after being convicted, the criminal judge 22 of the Bogotá circuit granted him freedom to the hacker Andrés Fernando Sepúlveda, who in 2015 received a 10-year prison sentence.
According to the court, Sepúlveda has already served 3/5 of his sentence and can therefore be released. Thus, in the next few hours Sepúlveda will leave La Picota prison, where he has been detained since 2014.
The court revoked an order of August 12 of this year that had denied him parole, and that had been issued by the 15th court of execution of sentences.

By allowing you to get out of prison, the judge gave him a probationary period of 36 months and 18 days, which is the time he lacks to serve his sentence, and in which he must guarantee good behavior.

In 2015, Sepúlveda was convicted of intercepting the communications of the peace process negotiators that was advancing at that time between the government of Juan Manuel Santos and the Farc, in Havana. The conviction was given for the crimes of conspiracy to commit a crime, abusive computer access, aggravated personal data breach, espionage and use of malicious software.

That sentence was given after Sepúlveda reached a preliminary agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office to pay that number of years in exchange for providing information on these events, which occurred in 2014, in the middle of the presidential campaign of the then candidate of the Democratic Center Óscar Iván Zuluaga in which Sepúlveda had been hired.

That year, on May 5, Sepúlveda was captured, accused of being the head of an office of illegal interceptions that, according to the Prosecutor’s Office at the time, had the objective of sabotaging the peace process.
Though Sepúlveda had sought that his process be welcomed in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), His request for submission was rejected in September of this year by that court, as it considered that the events for which he was convicted had no direct or indirect relationship with the armed conflict.
