The charge from Marcus Hutchins' attorneys comes as they try to suppress what prosecutors say are incriminating statements Hutchins made to the agents and later during a jailhouse interview. A grand jury indictment accuses Hutchins of creating and distributing malware known as Kronos, designed to steal banking passwords. FBI agents detained him in Las Vegas on Aug. 2 before he boarded a flight home to England and interrogated him for nearly two hours. The two FBI agents who arrested him testified Wednesday that he was properly mirandized and that he spoke to them voluntarily. During testimony, the FBI agents contradicted themselves about when Hutchins was shown the indictment.
