ME News, April 23 (UTC+8): In an operation against illegal manga distribution platforms, local Spanish police seized two cryptocurrency cold wallets containing approximately 400,000 euros (about $467,000) in assets. The operation was carried out by the Almeria police, resulting in the arrest of three suspects and the dismantling of what is known as the country’s largest Spanish-language pirated manga website. It is reported that the platform has provided free pirated content since 2014, mainly profiting through advertising, with total revenue exceeding 4 million euros over the past decade. Notably, the cold wallets involved were hidden inside wall-mounted thermometers. Police have not yet disclosed whether they have obtained the relevant private keys or access to the funds.
