The French Polynesian judiciary is yet to set a date to try a man suspected of tampering with the territory's email system - eight months after he was detained for questioning.
The man is suspected of repeatedly hacking into the email box of a Papeete-based lawyer, Maitre des Arcis, who complained to police that the confidentiality of his correspondence was breached.
In one incident nearly two years ago, the suspect is alleged to have intercepted an email message from a Tahiti-based businessman, Rene Hoffer, to the lawyer which he never received.
But Mr Hoffer was immediately sent an email, allegedly by the same suspect, to advise him that the message would not be delivered.
He was told that he was being watched, with it being known where he parked his car and what television channel he watched.
The message was signed with initials that happened to be identical to those of the name of the head of the territory's only internet provider.
The lawyer, Maitre des Arcis, had earlier been burgled and a computer drive stolen from him was found in possession of the French Polynesian president's office.
