Spanish law enforcement dismantled an underground financial network that laundered over €20 million through crypto transactions for organized crime groups in China and the Arab world. 17 individuals were arrested, with 15 in pretrial detention. The network used disguised remittance services and transported cash using hidden compartments in vehicles. They earned commissions in crypto, making tracing profits difficult. Investigators seized cash, digital assets, luxury vehicles, properties, designer handbags, and cigars purchased with illicit funds. This case highlights the challenges of tracking cross-border digital assets in combating cyber-enabled financial crime.
