No reason why Pentagon hacker can’t be tried in UK

The senior former policeman in charge of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit squad which first arrested Gary McKinnon has described the ongoing US prosecution of the Pentagon hacker as “spiteful”.

Marc Kirby, retired former detective inspector at the NHTCU, was in charge of the team which first arrested McKinnon for cybercrime offences in 2002. US attempts to extradite McKinnon only started three years later in 2005, after the signature of a controversial extradition treaty between the US and UK.

Kirby, who led the successful prosecution of the gang behind the failed $420m cyberheist at Sumitomo in October 2004 and is now a lecturer in computer forensics at Cranfield, told The Register that despite the passage of time a UK prosecution for McKinnon’s admitted crimes was still possible.

Last year, Mr Cameron said that if Mr McKinnon had questions to answer there was “a clear argument to be made that he should answer them in a British court”.

Mr Clegg has said that extraditing Gary would be a “travesty of justice” and that Gordon Brown should give his “personal guarantee” that Mr McKinnon will be tried in Britain.

Now the supporters of Mr McKinnon, who has Asperger’s syndrome, are hoping they will keep their word.

On Wednesday Mr McKinnon’s mother Janis Sharp wrote to Mr Clegg asking the coalition government to intervene.

She told the Daily Mail: “He has been one of Gary’s most passionate and outspoken supporters and always said he would not extradite him.
