Canadian arrested by France after cooperating with US on Sky ECC cryptophone investigation | Computer Weekly
Briefly

Herdman asserts he cooperated fully with U.S. authorities, stating, ‘I was in Spain at the request of the US government. I followed everything they asked.’ His legal team argues that this cooperation should have prevented his arrest.
His lawyers argue that the 38 months of remand without trial in Fleury-Mérogis prison is unjust, especially considering his cooperation with the U.S. under a proffer agreement.
Sky ECC was under investigation from 2018 to 2021 for allegedly being utilized by organized crime for narcotics, arms trafficking, and money laundering, implicating management and distributors.
The case raises serious questions about the justice system's handling of international cooperation, where an individual assisting law enforcement can still face arrest and significant legal challenges.
