The number of arrests in Operation 'Almocreve' has increased from 17 to 19, following the Judiciary Police's detention of two more suspects involved in criminal association, money laundering, qualified fraud, and computer fraud. The operation, which began on March 11, targets a transnational criminal organization managed from abroad by Angolan and Brazilian nationals, which used the banking system to launder money for other criminal groups. The organization charged fees of up to 50% to move illicit funds through chains of international bank accounts. Of the 30 million euros identified, 2.5 million euros represent losses to victims, mostly European companies. Ten of the 19 detainees are in preventive detention, while others face various restrictive measures. Additionally, three individuals were arrested in Spain and France under European arrest warrants.
