Police searches homes of „Zwiebelfreunde“ board members as well as „OpenLab“ in Augsburg

On June 20th, board members of the „Zwiebelfreunde“ association in multiple German cities had their homes searched under the dubious pretence that they were „witnesses“ while their computers and storage media were confiscated. The Augsburger CCC offshoot „OpenLab“ also had to contend with a search of their premises. For seven years, the Zwiebelfreunde association has been promoting and creating privacy enhancing technologies, while also educating the public in their use. At TorServers.net, the association operates Relays of the Tor anonymising network while helping operators technically and legally. In addition to this, the association helps other organisations raise funds. The board members of the association are not considered suspects but witnesses in the ongoing investigation. The story behind the searches and seizures is somewhat convoluted: There was an anonymous website on the internet, calling for protests against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party convention in Augsburg. The unknown operators of this website used an e-mail address at Riseup, a well-known alternative provider. [1] The Zwiebelfreunde association has a bank account to facilitate donations to riseup.net.

Riseup is domiciled in the US, and essentially offers a non-commercial alternative to Gmail. Because data-protection practices are in decline world-wide, many NGOs and grassroots organisations use Riseup.These facts have not yet reached the police in Bavaria. The state prosecutor’s office in Munich has apparently been operating on the mistaken assumption that everyone even tangentially connected to Riseup would be able to provide information on any e-mail account registered there, including that of the alleged illegal website. [2] The officers on the scene made clear that they themselves felt this assumption would not hold and said so to the witnesses. But they performed the searches and seizures anyway.With such contrived reasoning, almost anyone could be searched if the anonymous website had been operated by people with a Gmail address. As a consequence of this clearly nonsensical attempt at logic, those involved in this as witnesses and their families have had to endure abjectly disproportional intrusions into their homes. Homes were searched without anyone even attempting to question the alleged witnesses.

A multitude of storage media, computers and other devices were confiscated, also affecting family members of the association’s board members - none of whom stands accused of a criminal act. Also affected are completely unrelated businesses and sensitive projects of Zwiebelfreunde, such as the Tails Linux distribution. Some of those involved have had their requests to return the hardware denied....
