On 26 November 2025, an international investigative team led by the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office – Center for Internet Crime (ZIT) and the Zurich Cantonal Public Prosecutor’s Office shut down the online money‑laundering service cryptomixer.io. German Federal Police (BKA) and Europol coordinated with Eurojust, U.S. and other European authorities. The operation seized the Swiss‑based server infrastructure, several mail accounts and approximately 25 million euros worth of cryptocurrencies. cryptomixer.io had been operating since 2016 and was described as one of the largest Bitcoin‑mixing services, with revenues in the billions of euros, most of which was of criminal origin. The service lacked customer identification measures, making it popular for money‑laundering in the underground economy. The seized evidence will assist future cybercrime investigations.
