A 22-year-old student German federal police believe to be the administrator of one of the largest German-speaking, dark-web forums has been arrested.

The man, whose identity has not been released, has been charged with operating a criminal trading platform and faces up to a decade behind bars if convicted. He was collared in late October after federal cops and officers from the Central Office for Cybercrime Bavaria (ZCB) searched two homes and seized computers, mobile phones, and other evidence.

According to German law enforcement, the student, from Lower Bavaria, served as the operator of the third version of Deutschland im Deep Web since November 2018.
