A hacker who's suspected of stealing hundreds of thousands of euros 
from online bank accounts has been extradited from Argentina to Spain. 
José Manuel García Rodríguez, 24, dubbed (rather uncharitably) by the 
Argentinians as "the fat Spaniard", faces up to 40 years imprisonment 
if convicted of various cybercrime offences.

García Rodríguez (whose online handle is Tasmania) fled his native 
Spain two years ago. Nine international arrest warrants were issued 
against him before he was eventually tracked down and arrested in 
Carcarañá, Argentina in July 2005. ®
