Amsterdam police seize server of ISP A/I at US request

Amsterdam police have seized a server belonging to the Italian internet service provider A/I. According to the report, the confiscation was carried out at the request of American authorities.

A/I is a provider associated with left-wing activist circles. The details of the operation — and the formal grounds for seizing the equipment in the Netherlands on a US initiative — are not clear from the available material.

The story fits a familiar pattern: infrastructure serving politically engaged communities ends up at the center of a cross-border legal request. Exactly which data or services are affected, and what consequences the seizure will have, remains uncertain pending further information.
