On January 28, the European Justice Organization announced that it had successfully dismantled a transnational money laundering ring that used cryptocurrencies to transfer profits between criminal organizations.
Investigations revealed that the gang had at least 52 members spread across Spain and Cyprus and carried out up to six money laundering transactions per week. The operation has led to the arrest of 23 suspects, the freezing of $28 million worth of cryptocurrencies and the seizure of around $8 million in cash across Africa.
It is reported that the case began in 2023 when Spanish border officials discovered that large amounts of money were being transferred to Cyprus, involving a total amount of more than 100 million US dollars. The gang transported cash on commercial flights and public transportation, and maintained contacts with several commercial companies around the world.
