The raids were held in Belgium, The Netherlands, England, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Croatia, Switserland, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Hungary and Italy.

Members of the groups came from different countries and kept contact with each other through the internet. They used a network of servers and sites, who were in different countries, owned by hosting providers.
