Berlin - German prosecutors say authorities have arrested two Japanese citizens and an American on suspicion of selling millions of euros' worth of drugs online.
Frankfurt prosecutors say a 43-year-old Japanese man, a 40-year-old Japanese woman and a 39-year-old man from the US were arrested late on Thursday in Berlin. Their names weren't released.
In a statement on Friday, prosecutors said the suspects were part of a gang that sold cocaine, cannabis and Ecstasy on darknet websites, which aren't visible without special software.
Prosecutors say the three suspects and a 38-year-old Japanese woman who's still on the run received at least €2.3 million from the sale of drugs online since September 2012.
Authorities seized several kilograms of illegal drugs during their search of five Berlin apartments.
