【UAE and Sweden arrest 7 people in crypto money-laundering case】7100000 USD UAE and Swedish police arrested 7 suspects allegedly involved in an international money-laundering network. Investigators said that tracing the network’s cryptocurrency transactions exposed links to organized crime and contract killings. According to the Emirates News Agency, citing the Ministry of Interior, the network’s leader was a Swedish citizen who had previously fled Sweden and was wanted under an INTERPOL Red Notice before being apprehended in the UAE; another 6 suspects were arrested in Sweden, and 7 people in total have been subject to legal proceedings. The Ministry of Interior said that the network processed approximately 10 months’ worth of 70000000 Swedish kronor (approximately 7100000 USD) in criminal cash proceeds, transferring them to other criminal entities while using cryptocurrency to “transfer and move the value of these funds.” Tracking cryptocurrency transactions and analyzing digital evidence helped investigators uncover financial links between the network and other criminal activities, including organized crime and contract killings. Abdulaziz Al Ahmad, director of the Federal Criminal Police at the UAE Ministry of Interior, said the country would continue tracking criminal networks and cutting off their sources of funding. Anders Wiberg, head of the international department of the Swedish Police, said cooperation with the UAE was a key factor in successfully solving the case. The two countries carried out simultaneous arrests after sharing intelligence and coordinating security operations directly. Sweden had previously called on police to intensify seizures of illegal digital assets, as the country faces a growing problem of gangs using social media and cryptocurrency applications to recruit paid killers.
