Europol has closed over 30.500 pirate sites worldwide

In a coordinated global operation, Europol closed more than 30.500 sites that distributed counterfeit and pirated material over the Internet and arrested three suspects.

According to Europol, these sites sold various counterfeit products and provided pirated products and services, including pirated movies, TV series, music, "cracked" , counterfeit drugs and other illegal products.

It appears that none of the sites shut down are among his most famous pirate sites , αν και εμείς είδαμε κάποια από την λίστα μας να είναι εκτός λειτουργίας. Παρόλα αυτά, σε αυτή την παγκόσμια επιχείρηση της Europol κατασχέθηκαν 26.000 πολυτελή ρούχα και αρώματα, 363 λίτρα αλκοολούχων ποτών και έναν απροσδιόριστο αριθμό συσκευών.

Europol officials have identified and frozen more than 150.000 euros from various bank accounts and online payment platforms.

Τα sites που έκλεισαν καθώς και οι συλλήψεις που πραγματοποιήθηκαν έγκειται στο πλαίσιο μιας συνεχιζόμενης προσπάθειας για την καταπολέμηση της πειρατείας, που φέρει την κωδική ονομασία « X» (IOS X), η οποία ξεκίνησε από το 2014 και διεξάγεται ακόμα και σήμερα με τη βοήθεια των κρατών μελών της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης και της διεθνούς επιβολής του νόμου.

The operation was supported by 18 EU Member States, including Albania, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Denmark, France and Germany. Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Serbia, the United Kingdom, as well as Hong Kong, the , the United States on and Eastern Europe.
