INTERNATIONAL STING TAKES DOWN DARK WEB MARKETPLACE

By Richard Chirgwin on May 3, 2023 10:23AM


COVERS NINE COUNTRIES AND 288 ARRESTS.

A nine-country police operation has resulted in the arrest of 288 individuals
accused of operating a so-called dark web marketplace.

Europol announced that police had seized “Monopoly Market”, which it accused of
facilitating the sale of illicit drugs.

“More than 50.8 million euro ($84 million) in cash and virtual currencies, 850kg
of drugs, and 117 firearms were seized," Europol said. 



“Operation SpecTor” included police action in Austria, France, Germany, the
Netherlands, Poland, Brazil, the United Kingdom, the United States, and
Switzerland.

German police first took control of the market’s infrastructure in December
2021, leading to “hundreds” of national investigations.



There are ongoing investigations which Europol said seek to identify more
individuals who own dark web accounts, and since law enforcement has access to
vendors’ buying lists, “thousands of customers across the globe are now at risk
of prosecution as well.”

Europol is touting SpecTor as the most successful such operation to date,
outperforming previous operations DisrupTor in 2020 with 179 arrests, and Dark
HunTor in 2021 with 150 arrests.
