Africa-Press – Angola. A textbook entitled “Cyber Crimes” to contribute to preventing and combating situations of this nature in the country, was launched this Friday in Luanda by author Fernando Rogério Samuel.
With 145 pages, to be marketed at a cost of eight thousand kwanzas, Fernando Samuel brings in the work approaches such as “Crimes and criminology”, “Introduction, “”Internet”, “Cyber crimes”, “False profiles”, “Cyber crime in Angola” and “Crimes against honor”.
In this first edition, the author prepared a thousand copies of the work that took approximately ten years to write and publish, whose proofreader is Apolinário Manasses and prefaced by lawyer Sérgio Raimundo.
Speaking to the press, Fernando Samuel explained that the delay in completion and launch was due to the fact that cyber crimes were not penalized in the old Penal Code.
He stressed that the country needs a “separate” legislation that accompanies technological evolution, due to the fact that cyber crimes are always being updated.
He defended the need for the country to be part of the “Budapest Convention” which acts to resolve these crimes committed by people or institutions against a country even though they are not in it, as well as the construction of a national cybersecurity centre.
The Convention on Cybercrime, also known as the “Budapest Convention” is an international treaty on criminal law and criminal procedure, signed in 2001 within the framework of the Council of Europe in order to promote cooperation between countries in combating crimes committed by through the internet and the use of computers.
