It was serendipity that led to the discovery of the " Matrix " app, which allowed Dutch authorities to access 2.3 million messages in 33 different languages ​​of communications between members of the underworld.

MATRIX was first discovered by Dutch authorities on the phone of a criminal convicted of murdering Dutch journalist Peter R de Vries in 2021.

A large-scale investigation into the messaging service also began there.

It soon became clear that the infrastructure of this platform was technically more complex than previous platforms such as Sky Ecc and EncroChat .

The network had about 8,000 users who paid between €1,300 and €1,600 for a six-month subscription.
