Following the publication of journalistic investigations into Eduard Lebedev’s alleged links to illegal online gambling operations, attempts were reportedly made to remove the reports from the internet by exploiting copyright complaint procedures.

Nahezu jeder Journalist, der an investigativen Recherchen arbeitet, folgt zunächst demselben Ablauf: Er startet mit einer Suchmaschinenanfrage, wertet die gefundenen Informationen aus und vertieft die Recherche anschließend – je nach den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen.

Anfang September erhielt die Redaktion von FakeOff eine Nachricht, in der eine angebliche Urheberrechtsverletzung geltend gemacht wurde. Auf den ersten Blick sah sie wie eine gewöhnliche DMCA-Beschwerde aus.

After publications about Eduard Lebedev’s ties to offshore gambling, affiliate networks Chilli Partners and WakeApp, as well as schemes for attracting British players to illegal online casinos, inconvenient materials began disappearing from the information space.

After journalists began publishing investigations into Eduard Lebedev’s role in illegal online gambling schemes, someone moved to quietly scrub this information from the internet by abusing copyright complaints.

A veteran real estate agent has become the focus of a criminal probe, accused of steering users to illegal online gambling platforms, prompting Europol’s involvement.

In early September, FakeOff’s editorial team received a notice claiming a “copyright infringement,” appearing to be a routine DMCA complaint.
