Police arrested 18 suspects after a two-year investigation into a scheme that allegedly used bank accounts, shell companies and cryptocurrency transfers to move funds.
Chilean authorities broke up an $88 million money-laundering scheme linked to Tren de Aragua after a two-year investigation, arresting 18 suspects. Investigators said the network allegedly used bank accounts, shell companies and cryptocurrency transfers to move funds. The case highlights how criminal groups can combine digital-asset transactions with traditional financial channels and corporate structures to obscure the origin and movement of illicit proceeds.
