Process kick-off in Trier: Unprecedented giant process around the cyberbunker
At the Bulletproof Hoster on the Moselle, the C&C servers of the Mirai botnet were hosted among other things.
Today, Monday, the trial against the wire-pullers of the Darknet data center Cyberbunker was opened at the 1st Great Youth Chamber of the Regional Court of Trier. Four Dutchmen, three Germans and one Bulgarian are accused of having helped to make possible almost 250,000 criminal acts as operators of this so-called bulletproof host. The trial is the first of its kind in German criminal history in which the operators of a hosting service are also prosecuted for the crimes of their customers.
The public prosecutor's office accuses the defendants of forming a criminal organization that existed solely for the purpose of profiting from the crimes of other criminals. The accused are thus theoretically threatened with a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, two of whom were full or partial adolescents at the time of the crimes and can therefore expect a milder sentence.
Mammoth trial on the Moselle
The mammoth trial on the Moselle is scheduled to last until the end of 2021, with two days of negotiations per week. An enormous amount of time, judging by the sheer number of crimes to be investigated, but it could well be exhausted. The public prosecutor's office accuses the accused of a total of seven criminal offences. On the one hand, they would have hosted the four underground marketplaces Cannabis Road, Wall Street Market, Fraudsters and Flugsvamp 2.0. In addition, according to the public prosecutor's office, they operated three trading centers for experimental synthetic drugs from China. They are also accused of having hosted a link list of over 6,500 websites in the Tor network, through which drugs, counterfeit money, murder orders, weapons and child pornography were traded.
