犯罪团伙因洗钱1500亿韩元加密货币被抓

韩国海关当局周一宣布,他们破获了一个国际犯罪团伙,该团伙被指控通过未经授权的外汇交易计划洗钱约1500亿韩元(1.017亿美元)的加密货币。三名中国籍嫌疑人因违反外汇交易法被移送检察机关。嫌疑人据称在2021年9月至去年6月期间,使用国内外加密货币账户和韩国银行账户洗钱1489亿韩元。

韩国海关服务局(KCS)于2026年1月19日宣布,破获了一个通过未经授权的外汇交易洗钱约1500亿韩元(1.017亿美元)加密货币的国际犯罪团伙。具体而言,该团伙被指控在2021年9月至2025年6月期间洗钱1489亿韩元。三名领导该行动的中国籍嫌疑人因违反外汇交易法被移送检察官处受审。 根据当局消息,嫌疑人在多个国家购买加密货币,并将其转移到韩国的数字钱包中。然后,他们将其转换为韩元,并通过众多国内银行账户转移资金,以规避金融监控。这些资金被伪装成合法支出,例如外国人整容手术费用或学生海外留学费用。 此案凸显了韩国在加强虚拟资产管制背景下,监管加密货币流动的持续挑战。海关机构计划对涉嫌非法外汇交易进行特别调查,将其视为更广泛的国际洗钱网络的一部分。尽管使用了国内外账户来掩盖踪迹,但该团伙仍通过KCS的细致调查被揭露。 该事件突显了韩国外汇监管的漏洞,并可能促使进一步的监管措施。一名海关官员表示:“我们将加强持续监控,以根除此类非法活动。”
