Authorities in Italy and Spain arrested 33 suspects in a coordinated operation against a global criminal money laundering network. The suspected perpetrators, who are of Italian, Albanian, Colombian, Moroccan and Syrian nationality, had created an international network of companies to launder dirty money.

As a so-called "controller of the money laundering network", the criminal network provided a professional criminal service to hide the origin of the income generated by the illegal drug traffic from South America.

With the support of Europol and Eurojust, money laundering specialists from the Italian Guardia di Finanza uncovered a network of electronic companies located around the globe and seized 18.5 million euros in assets.

The complex structure used companies in countries such as China, Turkey and the United States of America, among others. This complex web of companies allowed organized crime to disguise the nature, source, location, ownership, control, origin and/or destination of ill-gotten funds and avoid detection.
