An international law enforcement operation has successfully dismantled a significant crypto money-laundering network known as AudiA6, which reportedly processed over $390 million in illicit funds from 2022 to 2025. The operation involved eleven countries, leading to the arrest of two individuals in Georgia, as well as the seizure of 25 domains, more than 30 servers, and around 80 vehicles.
Authorities also froze approximately $900,000 in cryptocurrency linked to the operation, as confirmed by the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust). The AudiA6 service acted as a "mixer-as-a-service," enabling cybercriminals to hide the origins of stolen cryptocurrency by charging a commission of between 3% and 10% for processing.
During the investigation, officials identified over 6,000 fraudulent Know Your Customer records associated with "money mule accounts." Many of these accounts were connected to Russian-speaking individuals who facilitated the movement of funds through various crypto exchanges. The operation also revealed that AudiA6 was linked to a ransom payment made by an Australian entity in 2024.
