Known Pedo-sadist "White Tiger" was recognized by police as early as 2021
In a significant development, a 20-year-old German-Iranian man, known online as "White Tiger," was arrested in Hamburg on June 18, 2025. The suspect is accused of being a leading figure in the extremist network 764, an organization recognised by the FBI as a terrorist group involved in heinous crimes such as child sexual abuse, production of child pornography, and coercion of minors to self-harm and suicide [1].
The investigation into "White Tiger" is part of a concerted international law enforcement effort targeting 764, with ongoing investigations and prosecutions of multiple members across several countries. The group, which reportedly has subgroups, was classified as a nihilistic extremist network by the public prosecutor's office in Washington, D.C. in April [1].
According to a press release, 764 primarily targets children. The suspect is accused of leading chats with two underage users on the Discord platform containing youth pornographic content. One of these chats also contained incitements to self-harm and reinforcement of a suicidal thought expressed by the victim [1].
The investigation against the suspect was initially discontinued in November 2021 due to its insignificance. However, a tip from the US National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was forwarded to the Hamburg LKA in 2021, which led to the reopening of the case. The suspect admitted to the crime after legal advice [1].
The founder of 764 is from the Texas city of Stephenville. The suspect is currently in detention in the juvenile detention center on the island of Hahnofersand near Jork in Lower Saxony. The investigation into "White Tiger" is ongoing, and the exact current stage of prosecution is not yet clear [1].
