"Press coverage this week portrayed the RIPE NCC as being involved
with the criminal network provider Russian Business Network (RBN). Any
connection with criminal activity, or with RBN itself, is completely
unfounded.
The press coverage arose from a speech given by the Serious Organised
Crime Agency (SOCA) in the UK. SOCA has since contacted the RIPE NCC
with an apology. The RIPE NCC will continue to work with SOCA and
other bodies to ensure criminal investigations can be carried out in
an efficient manner within established laws and guidelines."
