181,000 users: “Amazon for criminals” closed. Six arrests, 500 officers on duty in North Rhine-Westphalia alone.
“Crimemarket” was the largest German-speaking platform for criminals on the freely available Internet. There were drugs, weapons and criminal services there. The operator is said to be 23 years old. He is being investigated for money laundering and computer fraud. Investigators in Iceland secured the server. The platform was accessible to everyone on the Internet, not on the Darknet. Accordingly, many minors also used them.
