Warrant for Arrest Issued to Globally Sought Hacker
In a joint effort, the Ministries of the Interior, for Digitalization and Local Governments, and Justice and for Migration in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, have made it easier for citizens to stay informed and engage with them. Both ministries have separate contact channels for their Press Offices and Citizen's Representatives, with details readily available online.
On September 10, 2025, a press release was issued by the Deputy Minister-President and Minister of the Interior, Thomas Strobl, in collaboration with the General Prosecutor's Office of Karlsruhe and the Police Headquarters of Reutlingen. The press release announced a significant success in the fight against globally active cybercriminals.
The public search for the suspect, who is believed to be the leader of an international cyber gang, has been discontinued on the Fahndungsportal of the State Criminal Police Office of Baden-Württemberg. The suspect, who hails from Paraguay, is being sought worldwide, with a European arrest warrant issued for their capture.
The United States has also offered a substantial reward for the capture of the individual. This cyber gang, according to the Minister of Justice and for Migration, Marion Gentges, poses a consistently high threat to Germany's cybersecurity.
Both ministries offer accessible and user-friendly contact options for citizens. The Press Offices of both ministries can be accessed externally, opening in a new window for your convenience. Citizens can also submit their inquiries or concerns online through contact forms provided by each ministry.
The public is encouraged to use these channels to stay informed and help in the ongoing efforts to combat cybercrime. The contact details provided are meant to facilitate communication between the public and the two ministries, fostering a stronger and safer digital community.
