🚨 ShinyHunters suspect to remain in custody for another 90 days

A Rotterdam court today extended the pretrial detention of the 24-year-old Amsterdam man arrested in the Dutch investigation into ShinyHunters.

The suspect, identified by Dutch media as Pepijn van der S., is suspected of participating in the ShinyHunters hacking group as part of an alleged criminal organization.

Police also revealed that investigators found information on his laptop relating to two planned killings abroad. Authorities say there are indications he may have ordered the killings, leading to a separate suspicion of attempting to solicit two murders.

Police stressed that the alleged murder plot is separate from the ShinyHunters investigation.

Additional arrests have not been ruled out as the investigation continues.
