A former Cisco engineer at the center of an extradition controversy has been indicted by a federal grand jury on computer hacking charges.

Peter Alfred-Adekeye faces five counts of illegally accessing Cisco's network after he left the company in 2005, according to the San Jose Mercury News. The indictment was handed down in the U.S. District Court in San Jose.

After Alfred-Adekeye left Cisco, he founded a company called Multiven to provide third-party service and support for Cisco equipment. Multiven then sued Cisco for anti-trust violations, claiming the company monopolized the business of servicing and maintaining Cisco equipment by forcing owners of gear to buy its SMARTnet service contracts in order to get regular software updates and bug fixes.
