Police believe that the gun that the shooting was carried out in Munich, were acquired in the Dark Net. Against this background, we can expect tighter policy of the European authorities against bitcoin.
David Ali Sonboli that killed nine people in Munich on Friday, presumably acquired their weapons in the Dark Net, said Robert Heimberger, the Chairman of the Bavarian Bureau of criminal investigation. Commenting on his words, leading German Newspapers such as Süddeutsche Zeitung and Die Welt, pointed out that trade in the dark sector of the Internet is bitcoin.
Burchard of odd, speaking on behalf of the parliamentary faction of the social democratic party of Germany, called for decisive action against Dark Net:
"We have to explore the Dark Net. We must give our authorities the personal and financial support that will allow them to stop this illegal trade."
18-year-old David Ali Sonboli committed suicide, killing nine people and wounding four others, in the shopping center Olympia in Munich. His weapon, the Glock 17, presumably comes from Slovakia. The license for the weapon the killer was not.
If this information is confirmed, the European authorities may be a new pretext for toughening of policy towards bitcoin. Earlier calls to "tighten the screws" in the regulation of cryptocurrencies came after the terrorist attack in Paris, although there is no evidence that the terrorists used bitcoin then was found.
