Prosecutors call for maximum penalty over Vastaamo hacking

ALEKSANTERI KIVIMÄKI should be sentenced to the maximum penalty of eight years in prison for what prosecutors describe as an exceptional crime, the hacking of Psychotherapy Centre Vastaamo.

“A crime such as this had never even been thought of when the penalties were decreed. It’s hard for us to think of a more serious collection of acts,” prosecutor Bo-Niklas Lundqvist was quoted saying in his closing argument at the District Court of Western Uusimaa on Wednesday by YLE.
