PANews, July 3 - According to Bitcoin.com, Chilean authorities recently dismantled a money laundering network utilized by the transnational criminal organization 'Tren de Aragua' that used cryptocurrency, arresting 52 suspects. The organization transferred illegal proceeds to Venezuela, Colombia, the United States, and six other countries through bank accounts and crypto assets, involving an amount exceeding 13.5 million dollars. Investigations reveal that the money laundering funds originated from criminal activities such as human trafficking, murder, and kidnapping. Mexican security experts noted that the organization mimicked the tactics of Mexican drug trafficking groups, using the untraceable nature of cryptocurrency to conceal the flow of funds. Last year, the U.S. Treasury Department designated the organization as a transnational crime group, accusing it of laundering money through cryptocurrency.
