With the support of their agency and law enforcement from the US, France, and Estonia, they arrested five people involved in a scheme to defraud over 5,000 investors out of approximately US$542 million. Authorities reported three arrests and searches in the Canary Islands, and two in Madrid.

The case marked one of the largest investment schemes involving cryptocurrencies in Spain. In January, local authorities reported that they had frozen over US$26 million in digital assets connected to a money laundering operation.
