He was charged with organised fraudulent data extraction, plus fraudulent access to and presence in a state automated personal-data processing system. He is reportedly linked to the ZeroBytes group, which claims a theft of data affecting at least 678,000 individuals and professionals, according to the DGFiP. In early September, a first suspect, aged 18, was charged and remanded in custody. The investigation is continuing.
