Colombia police accused of working with peace talks hacker

Colombias police have been accused of collaborating with the now-infamous hacker who was caught spying on the Havana peace talks for a right-wing presidential candidate, local media reported on Thursday.
The accusation stems from a case in which police published photos of students allegedly vandalizing public buses during an agrarian strike in September of last year. A judge order the removal of these photos as there was no evidence of at least one students involvement in the protests.
That student is not in a lawsuit with the police. The students lawyer has claimed that the hacker Andres Sepulveda aided and coordinated with national and Bogota police in acquiring the photos, namely through the alleged sale of software for their collection, according to El Espectador.
Sepulveda has been called to testify in the case by Colombias Prosecutor General to establish the nature of his relationship with the police.
