14 European countries were raided by police this week, in a bid to sniff out suspected illegal file sharers.
The raids were apparently part of a two-year investigation prompted by Belgium police and have taken place in countries such as Hungary, the Netherlands and Sweden.
The UK is also said to be a target, although this is still to be confirmed.
While there were reports that PRQ, the ISP for Wikileaks and the Pirate Bay, was raided this is not quite the case.
PRQ did confirm to TorrentFreak that it had been visited by police, but it was about specific clients' IP addresses rather than the two sites it hosts.

Pirate bay is down once again
Time to wipe my hard drive again, I think so
