A First VPN administrator was arrested in the takedown

Assessment

Several outlets framed Operation Saffron as including the arrest of First VPN's administrator. The primary sources do not support that: Eurojust's own release and CyberInsider's reporting both describe authorities searching a residence in Ukraine and interviewing the alleged administrator of the service — not arresting or charging them. No formal arrest or charge is stated in the primary release. The distinction is legally and factually meaningful: 'searched and interviewed' leaves the suspect's status open, whereas 'arrested' implies custody and the start of a prosecution that the sources do not describe. A reader repeating that an administrator was arrested would be asserting more than the coordinating authorities have said.
