On Saturday, Matt Cutts announced that BMW.de would be removed from Google's index for attempting to manipulate their search results.
According to Cutts, the site's developers were engaging in cloaking. Essentially the site was feeding Google one version of a webpage, but would serve a completely different webpage to human visitors via a javascript redirect. As most informed SEO webmasters know, this is a violation of Google's terms of service.
According to Cutts, Ricoh.de will also be removed from their index for they same reason. This is part of a concerted effort to eliminate or at least cut back on the amount of web spam in non-us countries.
