About Berlusconi Market

Berlusconi Market was an Italian-focused darknet marketplace operating from 2018 until its takedown by Italian Guardia di Finanza in November 2019. Named ironically after former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the market specialized in illegal drugs, weapons (including Kalashnikovs and grenades), and forged identity documents. The market was considered one of the most reliable Italian-language darknet platforms before its shutdown. Three Italian administrators were arrested, including one operating under the alias 'VladimirPutin.' In 2024, five additional individuals faced charges related to the market's operations, with some cooperating by returning €2 million in Bitcoin. The market's infrastructure was completely dismantled, and any current sites using the Berlusconi name are confirmed scams or law enforcement operations in 2025.
