The IRS and Israeli Police have arrested three suspects in an international fraud scheme to launder millions of euros using cryptocurrencies. It is reported by Reuters.

According to authorities, a group of local residents systematically received money as a result of crimes committed abroad. Later, the assets were converted into cryptocurrencies on various digital platforms.

The fraud was aimed at the French treasury.

Police did not provide details on the alleged crimes.

In addition to the arrest of the three main suspects, a number of others were detained for questioning.

The investigation was conducted over several months in cooperation with Europol and the French police.

Recall that last week Dutch law enforcement arrested Alexei Pertsev, the developer allegedly associated with the Tornado Cash mixer. Previously OFAC It imposed sanctions on the service on suspicion of laundering over $7 billion in cryptocurrencies.
