Odaily Planet Daily reports: Law enforcement agencies from 11 countries jointly shut down the money laundering network AudiA6, which processed over €336 million in illicit funds between 2022 and 2025. On June 10, authorities arrested two administrators, one Russian and one Ukrainian, in Georgia, seized 25 domain names, over 30 servers, and 80 vehicles, and froze approximately €778,000 in cryptocurrency. AudiA6 operated as a “mixer-as-a-service,” providing cybercriminals involved in ransomware attacks with cryptocurrency cash-out and fund obfuscation services, charging commissions of 3% to 10%, and claiming transactions could be completed in about one hour.
Since 2021, the AudiA6 wallet has received approximately 10,333 BTC, valued at around $389 million at the time of the transactions. The investigation also found that this money laundering network used thousands of fake accounts created through stolen or purchased identities, involving over 6,000 KYC records; many accounts were linked to Russian intermediaries used to transfer criminal proceeds through cryptocurrency exchanges. The clearnet and darknet domains of AudiA6 and Dark2Web have been replaced with seizure banners. (Cointelegraph)
