According to a statement from the European Police Organization, Polish authorities have successfully arrested 15 individuals suspected of being involved in smuggling crimes from Belarus, while seizing a large amount of cash and valuable items in the process. These Belarusian smugglers were initially under investigation for drug trafficking in the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
According to intelligence provided by the European Police Office, these suspects are smuggling large quantities of tobacco products from Belarus to Poland, and are using methods such as cash conversion, property investment, purchasing expensive luxury items, and using cryptocurrency to launder their illicit profits.
In this operation, the police seized a significant amount of cash, including Swiss francs, euros, and dollars, as well as gold bars, jewelry, and seven luxury cars, with a total value of €2 million ($2.14 million). The European police organization provided an analyst and an expert on-site to assist 200 Polish law enforcement personnel involved in the operation.
