The FBI said this arrest and the arrests of three alleged operators in February were the result of a two-year joint investigation into the Mariposa Botnet, which may have infected as many as eight million to 12 million computers around the world."

    He is a Slovenian citizen, he will be tried in Slovenia and yes Americans are no an über nation.

    Also FBI claimed in its press release that THEY arested this man. I just point out that FBI agents have no jurisdiction in Slovenia, they were only guests of our police officers.
