Basically, I'm looking for case law on running Tor exit-nodes. I am especially interested in case law from countries in Europe, but other examples are most welcome as well.

While I've never heard of anyone being indicted (in the US or EU) for
running an exit node, there have been many cases of equipment seizure
all over the world.

These might be of interest to you:
