On March 20, BKA seized the infrastructure of the Nemesis Market darknet marketplace in Germany and Lithuania, disrupting its operation. At the same time, the police confiscated digital assets worth €94,000.

Created in 2021, the platform traded drugs, stolen data and credit cards, as well as cybercrime services, including ransomware, phishing and DDoS. Payment for goods was accepted in Bitcoin and Montero.

At its peak, Nemesis Market had more than 150,000 user accounts and 1,100 merchant accounts worldwide, about 20% of which were located in Germany.

The investigation into the darknet marketplace began in October 2022.

The BKA did not specify whether server administrators or platform operators had been identified or arrested. However, the seized data will help law enforcement authorities in establishing their identities.
