Darknet soon to be criminally relevant?

As it currently looks, a § 126a will probably soon be added to the penal code. This shall read as follows:

 

Offering services to enable crimes to be committed

(1) Anyone who offers an Internet-based service whose access and availability is restricted by special technical precautions and whose purpose or activity is aimed at enabling or promoting the commission of unlawful acts within the meaning of sentence 2 shall be liable to a custodial sentence
of up to three years or to a monetary penalty, unless the offense is punishable by a more severe penalty under other provisions.

Unlawful acts in the sense of sentence 1 are
1. section 95(1) of the Act on the circulation of medicinal products,
2. sections 29(1)(1), 29a, 30, 30a of the Narcotics Act,
3. section 19(1) of the Basic Substances Monitoring Act,
4. section 52 paragraph 1 number 1 and paragraph 3 number 1 of the Weapons Act,
5. Section 40(1) and (2) of the Explosives Act,
6. Sections 19(1), 20(1), 20a(1), 22a(1)(1), (2) and
4 of the War Weapons Control Act and
7. §§ Sections 146, 147, 149, 152a, 152b, 184b paragraph 1, 202a, 202b, 202c, 263a, 275,
276, 303a and 303b of the Criminal Code.

(2) The punishment shall not be more severe than the punishment threatened for the act referred to in paragraph 1, sentence 2.

(3) Anyone who
commits the offense commercially shall be punished with a prison sentence of six months to ten years.

The exact version can of course still change. Bavaria in particular is calling for further tightening.

At the same time, the states intend their initiative to expand investigative powers to help law enforcement agencies identify crime suspects. For example, it should be expressly possible for law enforcement authorities to demand information from postal service providers about items that have not yet been received and those that have already been delivered. In the absence of a legal basis, this is currently not permissible. The Bundesrat justifies its legislative proposal by stating that the current legal situation does not provide sufficient criminal law protection against such offers on the darknet. Since the operators only provide the technical infrastructure, they could at present at best be prosecuted for state aid. As a rule, however, this is difficult to prove. In fact, however, illegal online trading platforms became increasingly important in law enforcement. The Federal Criminal Police Office expects the business model to expand, the states stress. EUROPOL also sees the platforms as an interface between cybercrime and other forms of crime, some of which are also organized.

The bill will now be submitted to the Bundestag via the federal government. The latter decides whether to take up the proposal of the Länder chamber. However, there are no fixed deadlines for parliamentary deliberations.

The whole resolution can be found here.
