He pleaded guilty to brokering spyware and surveillance tools.
A businessman has pleaded guilty to charges laid against him for selling and using surveillance tools and malware in Mexico and the United States. On February 15, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) said that Carlos Guerrero, a resident of Chula Vista, California and Tijuana, Mexico, admitted to „conspiring to sell and use hacking tools manufactured by private companies in Italy, Israel and elsewhere.“ The 48-year-old appeared in a San Diego federal court, where prosecutors alleged that Guerrero owned a number of companies registered in the US and Mexico that were used as sales brokers for „interception and surveillance tools.“ According to the DoJ, the firms worked with Mexican government clientele, commercial, and private customers.
