German authorities, led by the BKA and Frankfurt cybercrime prosecutors, have shut down the Crimenetwork marketplace and arrested a suspected 29-year-old technical administrator while seizing about €1 million in cryptocurrency; the platform reportedly facilitated over €90 million in illicit sales (2018–2024) to more than 100,000 mostly German-speaking users selling drugs, stolen data, weapons, botnets and forged documents, and the BKA claims to have obtained communications, user and transaction data from the site.
