Europol breakdown a cryptocurrency investment scam worth $539 million spanning across Spain, the USA, and the EU.

Spanish authorities arrested five people on June 25 in connection with a cryptocurrency investment scam worth 539 million USD. Europol has been involved since 2023, providing information and support for the investigation. Three suspects were arrested in the Canary Islands and two in Madrid, with simultaneous searches taking place.

This group operates a global scam network, collecting money from victims through cash, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency wallets. They have created a complex financial structure in Hong Kong, using fake identities to move stolen money.

The investigation is still ongoing, with the possibility of additional arrests. Earlier, in April, the police arrested six individuals related to another cryptocurrency scam worth 19 million euros.
