This was announced by the US Department of Justice on Friday (local time) in a press release. As the local Federal Criminal Police Office confirmed to APA on Saturday, the 33-year-old had been tracked down by target investigators.
The arrest took place on November 2, 2022 in Vienna-Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus. Since then, the man has been in extradition custody. Electronic devices and cash were confiscated at his Vienna address. The 33-year-old is now to be charged in the US with operating a criminal Darknet drug market, as announced by US Attorney Matthew M. Graves and Acting Special Agent Sarah Linden of the FBI’s Washington Field Office Criminal and Cyber Division.
According to the indictment, the 33-year-old set up a so-called Monopoly Market (“Monopoly”) on the Darknet. Illegal substances were traded there. Sellers were able to advertise their products, interested parties sometimes received photos of the respective stock, and a payment agreement was supplied in the form of a written template. The 33-year-old is said to have received commissions for successfully completed transactions.
