During the height of Europe’s migration “crisis,” Germany was one of the few EU countries to openly embrace assisting refugees, registering more than a million arrivals in less than two years. However, this stance spurred a public backlash, which led to the adoption of a host of restrictive measures, including policies intended to increase removals, limit family reunifications,. Kodi ruling update: In April 2017, the European Union Court of Justice ruled that it is illegal to stream pirated multimedia, just as it is illegal to download pirated content. This means that temporary copies of files that are stored on your computer when streaming movies can be considered illegal if the original file is pirated.

Authorities say it could be the biggest darknet marketplace bust

German prosecutors in the cities of Koblenz and Oldenburg said on Tuesday that they had shut down what was 'probably the largest illegal marketplace on the Darknet' called DarkMarket and arrested the man believed to operate it near Germany's border with Denmark.

The detained man, believed to be DarkMarket's operator, is a 34-year-old Australian national.

Authorities say drugs, counterfeit money, stolen credit card data, anonymous SIM cards and malware were all traded on the site, which had a half a million users and transacted business in cryptocurrencies equivalent to a value of €140 million ($170 million).

Oldenburg police said the raid took place over the weekend. 'Investigators were able to shut down the marketplace and turn off the server on Monday,' prosecutors said.

International probe

What Is Illegal On Internet In Germany

DarkMarket's bust was not the first for German authorities, which have found illegal platform operators on German soil in recent years. In 2019, Koblenz prosecurots announced the discovery of darknet servers hosted from a former NATO bunker in a sleepy German town.

Authorities say the probe that uncovered DarkMarket involved a months-long international law enforcement operation.

US agencies like the FBI, DEA narcotics law enforcement division and IRS tax authority all contributed to the investigation, along with police from Australia, Britain, Denmark, Switzerland, Ukraine and Moldova, with Europol playing a 'coordinating role.'

'A total of at least 320,000 transactions were carried out via the marketplace, with more than 4,650 Bitcoin and 12,800 Monero - two of the most common cryptocurrencies - changing hands,' Oldenburg authorities added.

At the time of its closure, DarkMarket had more than 2,400 vendors.
