The German owner of YouPorn was arrested in Belgium today on charges of tax evasion, the German newspaper ‘Welt’ reports.
The German entrepreneur built a true empire of online porn sites in a few years – 35 in total, including YouPorn, Pornhub, Brazzers and the German amateur porn portal ‘MyDirtyHobby’. The news of the arrest was confirmed by the prosecutor in Köln. According to ‘Welt’, the offices of the ‘Manwin Germany GmbH’ in Hamburg were searched and computers and documents were seized, while the man’s home in Belgium was searched too. The managing partner of Manwin is identified by CNBC as Fabian Thylmann, aka “the New King of Porn”. It’s not clear if this is the man arrested.

According to Belgian newspapers, Fabian is arrested. And he is waiting in a Belgian prison for his transfer to Germany.

He is under suspicion for tax evasion, however in an interview with the financial times he claims that his holding 'manwin' is built on a fiscally optimized 'thing' .

In San Pornando Valley they will be falling over each other in glee. Yet I find it hard to imagine that somebody who crusaded to the top of porn within less than 5 years would do anything so dumb. Especially after hearing which top legal consultants he contracts. His only public appearance can be watched here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCQCsWOivGo

I guess the criminal justice Department in my country have nothing against him.
It´s all political game play.

It´s funny: All the criminal elites in our country: bankers, politicians, etc, are taking their money to Switzerland, but the CDU/FDP mafia assholes never have done anything stopping it.

Zumwinkel, the former CEO of the Deutsche Post who had parked millions in Liechtenstein and CH walked free from court after paying a small sum as fine.
Corrupt criminal elites in the whole of Europe . no matter what corner you´re looking at :twisted:

best example mr wulff, our poor president with his poor wife, they almost had problems to fuel there premium class cars... laws in EUDSSR only count for mainstream and hardworking class not for corrupt "elites". but latest developments seems to set that story an end within next years when a population in poverty in greece and spain (followed by other countries) without future will ask for the heads of their "elites" and shove them the EURO coins into their asses. :::

Another article in dutch

http://www.nieuwsblad.be/article/detail ... 1_00399443

Summary: He lived very low profile in Kraainem (near Brussels), always casual clothing, nothing on or around his house says he's earning big money. Neighbours are very surprised about his professional activities, not one is complaining about him or his wife and kids, very normal but shy or bashfull family ;)

He is arrested based on a european warrant. He's the 'best' prisoner in the prison of Leuven-hulp. He will be transfered to German prison within two weeks, or six to eight weeks dependant on which rights he claims.

Out on bail (more than €10m): http://www.golem.de/news/manwin-youporn ... 96518.html

They are talking about a tax debt of "far more than" €10m which would result in several years jail time.
