Eric Eoin Marques, a US-born 28-year-old living in Dublin, Ireland, is accused of being the chief architect behind Freedom Hosting, responsible for hosting child porn on 550 servers throughout Europe.

Freedom Hosting is also accused of providing services for money-laundering operations, fraud fronts, and child abuse discussion boards with names like Lolita City and PedoEmpire, according to The Independent

“My suspicion is he was trying to look for a place to reside to make it the most difficult to be extradited to the US,” Donahue said, as quoted by the Irish Independent.

“He was looking the engage in financial transactions with another hosting company in Russia.”

Hackers from the Anonymous collective levied a distributed-denial-of-service attack against Freedom Hosting in 2011.

Normally advocates of privacy and freedom online, Anonymous asserted that it determined Freedom Hosting hosted 95 per cent of the child porn web pages on the Tor network.

Donahue said Thursday that Freedom Hosting facilitated at least 100 sites, each with thousands of users, and Marques himself was a frequent visitor.
