Crypto money-laundering website shut down after EUR 336m probe
Eurojust and Europol supported a parallel investigation targeting alleged laundering through a website.
A global, parallel investigation backed by Eurojust and Europol has led to the shutdown of a website suspected of laundering more than EUR 336 million in criminal cryptocurrency between 2022 and 2025.
The case was coordinated as part of cross-border efforts to tackle crypto-related crime at an international level. Eurojust and Europol supported investigators working on the same matter in different jurisdictions.
Authorities said the website was suspected of being used to move and disguise proceeds in cryptocurrency. The figure reported in the case covers the period from 2022 to 2025 and relates to funds allegedly processed through the platform.
The information released does not state that anyone has been convicted. It also does not provide details on arrests, prosecutions, or the outcome for individuals involved.
The operation shows how EU-level agencies can support coordinated investigations when online financial crime involves activity spanning multiple countries. The website was ultimately shut down following the joint work supported by Eurojust and Europol.
