According to the European agency for police cooperation, a vast criminal network suspected of laundering as much as <strong>$23 million<\/strong> through a complex system of transactions in cryptocurrencies has been dismantled:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The facts:<\/strong> This group allegedly used crypto asset conversion services (exchanges, wallets, etc.) to recycle dirty money from illegal activities such as fraud, drug trafficking, and organized crime. The operation, dubbed &#8220;EMMA 3,&#8221; led to the arrest of 6 individuals and the seizure of millions of euros in cash and cryptocurrencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The impact:<\/strong> This case highlights the persistent challenges facing the crypto sector in combating mafia activities.
