The IT systems administrator of a large commercial store dedicated to decoration in Palma was sentenced this Wednesday to 1 one year in prison for discovery and disclosure of secrets for accessing staff emails and leaking them to a television channel.
In the trial held before the first section of the Palma Court of Justice, the accused admitted having taken advantage of his position as IT manager to randomly access without any authorization the corporate email accounts of several executives and employees of the decoration store, between January and July of 2012.
Among the emails accessed, there was one in which reference was made to the dismissal of a works council member. The IT specialist forwarded it to a television program that he knew would cover the labor dispute, and did so using a mail sending system that concealed data and made it appear to have been sent from the business.
The accused himself submitted a written confession of the facts to the duty court in July of 2012, which made the investigation possible.
Although initially the Prosecutor's Office requested that the accused be convicted of 4 years in prison, durante el juicio celebrado este miércoles en la Audiencia de Palma la acusación y la defensa han llegado a un acuerdo de conformidad y el acusado ha admitido los hechos.
Para fijar la solicitud de pena de 1 año, la Fiscalía ha tenido en cuenta las circunstancias atenuantes de confesión, dilaciones indebidas y reparación del daño, ya que el acusado había consignado 3.000 Euros.
Además de la condena a 1 año de cárcel, el condenado ha admitido indemnizar con 10.000 euros a los afectados, with 1.430 euros a cada una de las siete personas cuyos correos espió.
En vista del acuerdo de conformidad, el presidente del tribunal de la sección primera que lo ha juzgado, el magistrado Jaime Tártalo, ha dictado sentencia in voce y le ha concedido la suspensión de la pena de prisión.
As you can see, estas cosas no sólo pasan en Estados Unidos. Lo tenemos más cerca de lo que nos creemos.
