Amsterdam police seized an Autistici/Inventati server for the US after Washington sanctioned the Italian host.

Amsterdam police seized a server belonging to Italian nonprofit host Autistici/Inventati from a Science Park datacenter after a US mutual legal-assistance request. Washington had sanctioned A/I in late August, alleging it facilitated antifa, after which the volunteer-run service lost banking and its domain and began shutting down. Police are imaging the encrypted server and sending the copy to the United States; A/I previously offered free hosting and email to about 20,000 organizations.

Key facts
  • Amsterdam police imaged the server under a US legal-assistance request.
  • A/I served about 20,000 organizations before being sanctioned in late August.
  • Volunteers had shut down and wiped most other European servers.
  • A copy of the encrypted disk is being sent to the United States.
