💥 UK strikes Russian money laundering networks! 💥

The National Crime Agency (NCA) carried out a large-scale operation and dismantled two major money laundering networks at once - Smart and TGR. 💸 These organizations, hiding behind complex cryptocurrency schemes, were involved in financing crimes such as:

🚨 Drug trafficking

💻 Cyber ​​attacks using ransomware

🕵️‍♂️ Espionage for Russia

The result? 👇

📌 84 people arrested

📌 Over £20 million in cash and crypto seized

And here is who became the center of attention - Ekaterina Zhdanova, the alleged leader of the Smart network. She masterfully used cryptocurrencies to bypass sanctions and launder money for elites and cybercriminals. 😮

This operation was a real blow to criminal groups who thought that blockchain would help them remain undetected. But, as we can see, even complex crypto schemes can be exposed! 🌐

Cryptocurrency may be a tool for freedom, but it is definitely not for lawbreakers! 💪
