Cyber Bunker Leader, Herman X, Granted Parole from Imprisonment
In a development that has sparked interest and concern in equal measure, Herman X., the notorious head of the Cyberbunker gang, has been released from prison. The Trier public prosecutor's office made the announcement in late September, confirming that Herman X. had served two-thirds of his sentence.
Herman X. was convicted by the Trier Regional Court in December 2021 for his role in providing servers for darknet activities. The court found him to be part of a criminal organization that supported illegal online activities. However, the Federal Court of Justice could not prove that Herman X. or the other defendants knew about individual crimes and actively supported them. As a result, the eight defendants, including Herman X., were acquitted of aiding and abetting 249,000 crimes via the bunker servers.
The verdict of the Trier Regional Court was upheld by the Federal Court of Justice in September 2023, marking a significant turning point in the Cyberbunker case. It is worth noting that the Federal Court of Justice also upheld the acquittal of the defendants for aiding and abetting the crimes via the bunker servers.
The Trierischer Volksfreund was the first to report on Herman X.'s release from prison. Following his release, Herman X. was placed on probation and is now allowed to leave Germany. He has also been ordered to report any change of residence.
Despite the release, details about Herman X.'s current activities remain unclear. As of now, there is no publicly available verified information about his post-release life and actions. The public will continue to watch with interest to see what the future holds for Herman X. and the Cyberbunker case.
