Joint Operation Targets Crypto Scam Centers Across Three Continents

Law enforcement agencies from the United States, the United Arab Emirates and China coordinated a sweeping raid that dismantled nine crypto scam centers suspected of siphoning funds from investors worldwide. European police added to the pressure, arresting ten suspects and shutting down three additional fraudulent hubs, authorities said. The combined crackdown is estimated to have halted the theft of ↓ $58 million in digital assets. Officials highlighted the transnational nature of the schemes, noting links to money‑laundering networks that have also been tied to nuclear financing concerns.

“This operation demonstrates unprecedented cooperation among major powers,” a senior investigator told Reuters.

Further details are expected to emerge as investigators trace the remaining cryptocurrency wallets.
