Swedish police confiscated several servers of the hosting company
PeRiQuito AB (PRQ) . The head of PRQ, Michael Viborg (Mikael Viborg), managed to
inform the news site Nyheter24 that the police were about to withdraw 4 servers (that is, they were looking for something definite), but which ones he was not informed about. In this connection, this operation is carried out, is also unknown.
This event was already responded to on Twitter @YourAnonNews, where it was
suggested that Pirate Bay might not be the target of the operation. The fact is that not less scandalous

does not connect these two events with
each other , as the tracker seems not to use the services of PRQ for a long time. Pirate Bay representatives told Torrent Freak that the portal was not available for technical reasons (the power distribution unit broke).

WikiLeaks, in turn,
told Forbes magazine that the site’s work was not interrupted.
PRQ was established in 2004 by the co-founders of The Pirate Bay, Gottfried Swarthholm and Frederick Neij. In 2007, the company began hosting Pirate Bay and other resources. In 2006, police officers raided the company. Then they tried to find traces of illegal activities of Pirate Bay. In 2010, the purpose of another raid to the hosting company became Scene file sharing.
