This is an odd story which has layers or elements to it.....that will continue to be revealed....year after year.
The location? Traben-Trabach. If you drew a line between Trier and Koblenz....it's about in the middle, along the Mosel River. In terms of rural nature....it's pretty remote and quiet.
For years (1960s to the 1990s)....NATO had a 'secret' installation there, with bunkers. At some point, NATO said 'enough' and retired the facility. Germany put it up for sale. Some folks came in and bought the facility (with the bunkers). Purpose? Well....no one talked about it.
This week, the purpose was revealed. It was a criminal computer network location. Two-hundred servers have been recovered by the cops. The network? All connected into Darknet.
Thirteen folks have been detained, and the cops have shutdown the entire network.
So here's the curious thing.....the cops say it may take several years before they've finished exploring the two-hundred servers. So more to be arrested? I would take a guess that you might find several thousand folks being called into some court, and having to answer for various issues.
