Europe Dismantles the Most Deceptive Cryptocurrency Money Laundering Empire in History, 20 Million Black Money Sweeps Through Three Countries!

A multinational crackdown operation has uncovered a hidden and massive cryptocurrency money laundering empire—behind it lies the dual forces of the Middle East and China, with drug money and human trafficking concealed within the cryptocurrency system, involving an astonishing amount of 20 million euros!

Dual Operation: Money Transfer from the Middle East, Payment Collection in China

This criminal group has clear divisions of labor: the Middle East team is responsible for the global transfer of illegal funds, while the Chinese branch is based in Spain, specifically for cash laundering. Cash is loaded into trucks, distributed nationwide, and then converted into cryptocurrency for commission, resembling a 'mobile bank'.

A Money Laundering Machine Dressed in Legal Garb

On the surface, this is a 'remittance company', using social platforms to disguise as a legitimate service, but in reality, it cleans money for drug traffickers and human traffickers. With this system, they have firmly established themselves in Europe.

Lightning Strike: Three Countries Join Forces to Encircle

In January 2025, 250 police officers launched a joint operation, sweeping across 13 locations in Spain and Belgium, resulting in the arrest of 17 individuals. The operation was only recently disclosed, revealing the deep infiltration of this organization.

Arrest locations include:

Antwerp (Belgium)

Madrid (4 people)

Almeria (5 people)

Malaga, Cadiz, Valencia, and other locations

15 individuals are now in custody, facing charges of money laundering and serious organized crime.

Seized assets are shocking:

205,000 euros in cash

183,000 euros in cryptocurrency

18 luxury cars (valued at over 200,000 euros)

10 properties (approximately 2.5 million euros)

Luxury goods and cigars, totaling over 850,000 euros

Cryptocurrency devices and multiple computers

This crackdown operation is hailed as a landmark victory for the EU in combating organized crime in the cryptocurrency sector. An apparently intangible underground financial empire has collapsed.
