11 national law enforcement agencies shut down AudiA6 crypto money laundering network

Odaily Odaily reports that law enforcement agencies from 11 countries have jointly shut down the money laundering network AudiA6, which processed over 336 million euros in illicit funds between 2022 and 2025. On June 10, law enforcement arrested two administrators of Russian and Ukrainian nationality in Georgia, seized 25 domain names, over 30 servers, and 80 vehicles, and froze approximately 778,000 euros in cryptocurrency. Operating as a "mixer-as-a-service," AudiA6 provided services to cybercriminals involved in ransomware attacks, helping them cash out crypto assets and conceal the flow of funds, charging commissions of 3% to 10% and claiming to complete the "cleaning" process within about an 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 revealed that the money laundering network used thousands of fake accounts created with stolen or purchased identities, involving over 6,000 KYC records; many of these accounts were linked to Russian-speaking intermediaries and were used to transfer criminal proceeds through cryptocurrency exchanges. The clearnet and darknet domains of AudiA6 and Dark2Web have been replaced with seizure banners. (Cointelegraph)
