A 50-year-old IT professional from Dortmund was sentenced to three years in prison by the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court for creating and operating a dark web platform called 'Assassination Politics,' which published lists of politicians to be killed, raised cryptocurrency bounties for their murders, and provided instructions on carrying out attacks and bomb-making. The Federal Criminal Police had shut down the platform. The presiding judge described the defendant as a committed far-right extremist with prior convictions.
