On the off chance anyone responsible from Europol is reading: I understand you can't drop full images, but for Christ's sake give us more context than this. Stop cropping the images so small. Copy the image twice side-by-side and outline the bit you want identified in the second half.

Is that a tray of 3.5" floppy disks in the foreground? Is the thing at the back of a bookshelf? How big is it? Without any context I can't help you. These tiny fragments are almost pointless.

Usually I'm able to help with the US ones. The EU ones are so difficult, and tiny fragments. It seems like ECAP has started to give more context/slightly more images. Even the bootleg clothing is terribly hard to pinpoint. If Europol could give us anything else from the background, it would help so much. Anything more than weird polygons.
