It’s been almost five years since that headline. The photo was received with derision by social networks and outraged, who were still camped in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid. How could the police to arrest the “dome” of Anonymous when Anonymous is described as a decentralized movement without hierarchical structure or leaders? The prosecution has worked five years with the police to link the accused with the 15-M, as reflected in the 1,600 pages of the inquest. The judge will now decide whether there were irregularities in the process, as assure the defenses of the accused. The three lawyers will ask for a mistrial.

A trial surrounded by irregularities

Today sit on the bench Rodrigo Tuero Sala, Yuri David López Ibáñez and Jose Maria Zaragoza Formiga. They are accused of coordinating a denial-of-service attack against the website of the Central Electoral Board (JEC) and other websites before the municipal elections of May 2011. The prosecutor asks five years in prison by the continuing attacks, computer damage and membership of a criminal organization. Damage accredited in the summary amount to 700 euros, corresponding to two days of an external security consultant to restore the JEC page after the attack.

Defenses believe it is a “total nonsense” that are requested five years in prison for a damage of 700 euros. Carlos Sanchez-Almeida, lawyer Yuri Lopez, said “the important thing is that the Central Electoral Board has no evidence that the web will fall as a result of the action of these three people,” so that “no crime and the case should never have come to trial. ” However, they are also charged the three men a crime of belonging to a criminal group. The prosecutor refers to Anonymous as a “plurality of computer users who organized a concerted denial of service”.

The prosecution “violated the fundamental rights” of the accused clicking their telephone conversations, according defenses

with these allegations, say the defenses, the prosecution is trying to justify the irregularities and “violations of fundamental rights” that occurred during the process. “The invalidity is established from the time the attorney-client conversations are heard and begin to make decisions based on that,” says David Maeztu, lawyer Rodrigo Tuero. Police pricked talks between Maeztu and Tuero to incorporate the cause. “Orders interception of communications and data request to the ISP were issued,” adds Sánchez-Almeida. “From that point of view, the cause is already null”

Police also used infiltrators to communicate with the accused while coordinating the attack agents. However, the figure of undercover cop on the Internet was not regulated at the time (only for very serious offenses of organized crime). It was regulated last year with the reform of the Criminal Procedure Act. On the other hand, the police sealed computers had commandeered custody- chain-breaking or revised the JEC server to have conclusive proof of what had happened with the web. “Nor are criminal group, for the simple reason that they knew each other,” said Sanchez-Almeida. “The case reeks of nullity everywhere”.

police found the servers that allegedly were used to support attacks on the home of Rodrigo Tuero room in Gijon. Rodrigo used the alias Tuerinator and Devnuller and was the one who, according to the prosecution, gave instructions on attacks (hence the trial takes place in Asturias). José María Zaragoza Formiga, who used the alias Mugen , Seraf and Sipias , was one of the main managers IRC channel “Anonymous annonet” through the attacks, according to the prosecutor were committed. David López Ibáñez, known as Wicker , Nemesis or Irae , is appointed as coordinator of the attack on the JEC and other administrators chat IRC.

the defendants were linked to the 15-M from the beginning

the prosecution specifies that the attack was organized on May 18, 2011 under the name ” Spanish Revolution “. The three Spaniards are accused of combining a DDoS attack (saturating a web with a large number of requests to the server to consume all the bandwidth) and an attack bulk mail: Mailboxes in the JEC received 344,944 emails from 19 and May 20 and the website had peaks of more than two million requests per minute. The inquest links textually operation with the movement 15-M:

Operation “Spanish Revolution”: This operation runs parallel with the demonstration platform held on the 15th under the slogan “Real Democracy Now!” movement, which generated the massive camping outraged at the Puerta del Sol. it focused on the attack on the website of the Central Electoral Board from day 18 May, leaving unserved several days. There were also attacks against the websites of Congress and UGT.

Throughout the summary operations Anonymous against the law Sinde mentioned, attacks on the SGAE , Operation Goya, Operation Mortgage and Voting Operation V who conducted days before the election. “From my point of view this was a montage especially politician to find something to tarnish the image of 15-M,” says Carlos Sanchez-Almeida, one of the voices more known in Spain for his defense of civil rights Internet -usually government critics. “Anonymous was part of the 15-M and attempted to mount a case as precisely to damage the image that had movement in public opinion”.

“When the police infiltrated says ‘with inch could do something big’ it is encouraging that a crime is committed “

the Prosecution identified one of the defendants in the camping Sol and in chats revealing the teaser, agents infiltrated police ask for the demonstration on 15.” it a perceived attempt to link the two issues, “says David Maeztu. The participation of the agents could now bounce off the face of the prosecution: the defenses accuse police of a possible offense caused. “There were a number of actors were interacting via Internet chats and the complaint did before,” says Sanchez-Almeida. “The complaint was lodged on 18 May 2011 and yet there are chats contributed to the list since 12 May. And in some cases agents are encouraging are conducting attack. ” In this conversation IRC gathered by The Confidential, “Sprocket” is an undercover police and “Mugen” is the defendant José María Zaragoza:

“When the police infiltrated she says’ with inch could do something big ‘, is inciting a crime is committed, “says Sanchez-Almeida. The judge will have the final word. Shall determine whether there was an agent provocateur and if the evidence presented by the prosecution should be declared null “From the first moment he tried to adopt a criminalizing language,” laments Sanchez-Almeida, referring to the wheel press the famous photo of the head of the Technological Investigation Brigade with Guy Fawkes mask. “Fortunately, judges have the last word”
