The Romanian hacker whose illegal exploits first exposed Hillary Clinton’s use of a non-governmental e-mail system is set to waive extradition later this month so he can face trial in the United States on a nine-count felony indictment.
Known as “Guccifer,” hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, 43, is scheduled for a February 17 extradition hearing in Romania, where he has been jailed since his arrest in January 2014. Lazar is serving a four-year sentence for hacking into the e-mail accounts of several public figures in Romania, including the head of the country’s intelligence service.
In a phone interview from a Bucharest prison, Lazar said that he will waive extradition during a Court of Appeal hearing in two weeks. Six months after Lazar’s indictment on federal charges in June 2014, the U.S. Department of State filed an extradition request with the Romanian government.

I predict that somebody is going to be sleeping with the fishes. Oh no he had a heart attack.
I was reading this article earlier today and was wondering if there is a deal that has been struck with the FBI and Secret Services.
The number of inmates in Romania’s prisons has risen constantly in recent years and the government spends over 41 million euro a year in supporting them, according to a recent report from the National Prison Administration, ANP.
Romania has over 31,800 prisoners today and the number has risen by over 5,000 in the last five years, the report shows.
The situation has eased compared with ten years ago, however, when there were some 52,000 detainees in a system with a capacity for only 30,000.
The high number of prisoners is still a burden, however. According to official data, the state spends around 495 lei (109 euro) a month per inmate.
