Brussels-based EURid froze 74,000 domain names which it believes have been stockpiled by a syndicate of registrars who intend to sell them on.
The process, known as “warehousing”, is not permitted by EURid which is suing 400 registrars for breach of contract.
The organisation believes the domains were acquired by three UK companies which acted as a front for the group.
