The operation resulted in the arrest of five individuals, with three apprehended in the Canary Islands and two in Madrid. The criminal network is believed to have laundered about $539 million (approximately €460 million) in illicit proceeds through fraudulent investment schemes. Investigators uncovered that the perpetrators operated a global network of associates to facilitate cash withdrawals, bank transfers, and crypto-transfers, while allegedly establishing a corporate and banking infrastructure in Hong Kong to manage criminal funds. The investigation, which has been supported by Europol since 2023, highlights the growing threat of online fraud, which Europol identifies as a significant risk to the EU’s internal security.
