CHICAGO Chad Kelly Youth Jersey , Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- Debate over whether Chicago should bid for Amazon's second headquarters heated up as Mayor Rahm Emanuel officially announced on Wednesday that the U.S. city is seeking nomination.


People who support the bid believe the giant online retailer will bring great benefits to Chicago.


For Chicago warehouse owners, Amazon effect is already big, said a report by Chicago Tribune. Amazon signed five of Chicago's 13 largest leases in the past year. The five new deals are for about 4.8 million square feet (446,000 square meters) combined, cited the Tribune.


"Amazon HQ2 has the potential to create thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of investment in Chicago," Department of Planning and Development Commissioner David L. Reifman said.


Voices of objection are strong as well out of concerns about the city's financial situation.


"We'll be giving away tax money we don't have," said Tom Gimbel, founder and CEO of LaSalle Network to Crain's Chicago, a business journal.


"To get any company to bring tens of thousands of jobs to a city will require huge tax credits and other incentives. Can Illinois afford this? Can Chicago?" he said.


More than 100 cities, states, provinces and counties in the United States and Canada have showed interest in the bid for Amazon's second headquarters after the e-commerce company announced it was seeking proposals.


Amazon said in a statement released last week that it will invest about 5 billion dollars and create up to 50,000 jobs in the chosen area. Its first headquarters is in Seattle on the west coast of America.


Opposition has not dampened Emanuel's enthusiasm at all.


"We're looking for partners to put their best foot forward and help us determine which sites have the best potential to drive growth for Amazon and Chicago," Emanuel said in a press release. "While we have many sites that meet Amazon's requirements, there is only one city that offers unmatched potential for future success, Chicago."

THE HAGUE, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- A joint action day carried out by seven EU Member States and coordinated by Europol has resulted in the arrest of 53 people involved in buying andor selling counterfeit euro banknotes on illegal Darknet, Europol announced on Wednesday.


Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Slovakia and Spain joined the action. Apart from 53 arrestees, 2,049 counterfeit euro banknotes were seized during 77 house searches across Europe.


In February 2017, Austrian authorities dismantled an illegal euro banknote print shop in Vienna and arrested one person. The data retrieved from this operation mainly related to illegal euro banknote counterfeiting on the Darknet. Among the documents seized, investigators found details of 33 different European and non-European countries to which the arrested person had sent counterfeit money.


A joint action day was strategically planned, with the objective of targeting buyers and vendors active on the most popular Darknet marketplaces.


The timing for the action (May-June 2017) was chosen to precede international operations by the United States and the Netherlands, focusing on taking down two of the most popular Darknet marketplaces -- Alpha Bay and Hansa Market, said Europol.


"The excellent results of the joint action day prove that anonymity on the Darknet no longer exists. By acting together, the European law enforcement community, coordinated by Europol, has sent a clear message that we have the means to identify criminality and strike back, even in areas of the Dark Web," it said.
