One of the world’s biggest darknet marketplaces for fentanyl and other drugs, Archetyp, has been taken down by German police, as part of Operation Deep Sentinel. Its alleged creator and administrator has been arrested in Spain.
Eurojust, the European Union agency for criminal justice cooperation, said Archetyp had more than 600,000 users and around 3,200 vendors who had traded drugs worth at least 250 million euros ($290 million).
