Madonna Hacker Indicted in Israel
The Israeli arrested on suspicion of hacking into Madonna's computer and leaking unreleased music has been formally indicted.
Five weeks after his arrest in Tel Aviv, 39-year-old Adi Lederman, who three years ago auditioned for Israel's then leading singing competition TV show, Kochav Nolad (A Star Is Born), has been officially charged by Israel's magistrate courts with four counts: computer trespassing, prohibited secret monitoring and additional computer trespassing, copyright Infringement and obstructing investigation.
As detailed in court documents filed on Tuesday, Feb. 23 and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, the first count relates directly to hacking into private cloud accounts by Sara Zambrano, Angie Teo and Kevin Antunes, all "sharing various files and music files copyrighted by Madonna Esther Louise Ciccone," and going through an office email account labeled "osearyoffice." The count also includes additional hacking into 15 other unspecified email accounts.
