In a Manhattan Court on Sept. 4, Latvian coder Deniss Calovskis pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion for his involvement in the creation of the Gozi computer virus. The plea came following a bargaining agreement with U.S. authorities that dropped multiple charges. Had the case gone to trial, Calovskis would have faced up to 67 years in prison.
Calovskis, Mihai Ionut Paunescu, and Nikita Kuzmin were named in the indictment, which was unsealed by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in the Southern District of New York.
