Five members of a nationwide criminal gang have been arrested in Moscow, Rostov, Astrakhan and Krasnodar regions, TASS news agency reports.

Prosecutors said the couple was arrested in New Mexico two years ago after authorities discovered they were using the seedy dark web marketplaces Wall Street Market and Empire Market to market their illegal goods under the name "THEQUEENSHIVE".

A number of police officers in the Bangalore police system with technical knowledge of the Internet and the ability to work with it created teams to track dark web activity, and in January this year, after continuous monitoring of dark web activity, Indian police seized LSD worth Rs. 13 billion.
