    More details have emerged on the arrest of a German lawyer and three businessmen who masterminded an international warez network and grossed €1m.

    The main suspect, Bernhard Syndikus, a lawyer, was arrested for criminal breach of copyright,money laundering and membership in a criminal conspiracy. He didn't request a lawyer himself after his custody, a spokesman told press agency DPA.

    Police last week raided the offices of Gravenreuth & Syndikus, a Munich law firm, of which Syndikus is a partner.

    According to German reports almost all the funds of the warez site Ftpwelt.com were channeled through an offshore company Internet Payment Systems Ltd, registered on the Caribbean island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, and ended up in a small eastern German town, Breitungen.
