UK Conviction Arises out of Trend Micro and NCA PartnershipOn January 15, Goncalo Esteves from Essex, UK plead guilty on 3 charges of computer offenses under UK law:
- 2 charges against Section 3A of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (Making/adapting/supplying an article intended for use/to assist in commission of section 1 or 3 Computer Misuse offense)
- 1 charge against Section 327(1) and Section 334 Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Concealing/disguising/converting/transferring/removing criminal property)
This marks the result of a collaborative investigation that Trend Micro and the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the United Kingdom initiated back in 2015, when the two organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to work together in the fight against cybercrime. This collaboration is not restricted to this case alone, with Trend Micro actively continuing to assist the UK, as well as other international law enforcement partners, in their fight against cybercrime.
