Trial commences in Finland for 26 y/o who allegedly blackmailed psychotherapy patients

[thewayne]

The twerp hacked Vastaamo Psychotherapy Center and stole all their patient files, which included notes taken during therapy sessions. The center refused to pay a six-figure ransom, so he switched to trying to extort the individual patients for 500 Euro each. That didn't prove a revenue generator either, so he dumped all the files on a dark web site. This was October 2020.

In February 2023 he was arrested by French police when the man, 6'3" and green-eyed, presented Romanian identification which proved false. His attorneys asked for his release during the trial as he had already been jailed for eight months. The judge declared that he was still a flight risk and ordered him held for the duration of the trial.

European prisons are quite different from the American prison system.  Most countries don't have life sentences or death penalties.  Take a look at the movie Who Should We Invade Next? for a look inside.

Can we go back in time and use the Turkish, I think it was, prison in the movie Midnight Express? :)
