Chilean authorities have dismantled an $88 million cryptocurrency money laundering operation linked to the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua. Following a two-year investigation, police arrested 18 suspects involved in laundering money through crypto assets. The operation, conducted by Chilean police and the Southern Attorney General's Office, spanned three regions in Chile.
As part of the crackdown, over 140 bank accounts were frozen, and $300,000 of the organization's funds were seized. This significant bust highlights the ongoing efforts by Chilean authorities to combat financial crimes involving cryptocurrencies.
