German Man Arrested in Thailand for Running Dark Web CP Network Thai police, in collaboration with US Homeland Security, have arrested a 54-year-old German national, Steffen, in Chon Buri’s Bang Lamung district for allegedly operating a child pornography network on the dark web. Authorities seized a laptop, a server, and a mobile phone containing 140,000 illicit files, as well as financial records showing transactions worth 3.5 million baht from cryptocurrency payments.

He now faces multiple charges, including possession, distribution, and trade of child pornography for commercial gain, with the possibility of extradition for further prosecution. The case highlights the importance of international cooperation in combating online crimes. Authorities continue to investigate to identify additional suspects and users linked to the network. Thai law enforcement remains committed to tracking down individuals engaged in illegal activities, reinforcing Thailand’s strict stance on crimes of this nature.
