Australian authorities have dismantled a sophisticated money laundering network in Queensland, charging four individuals for allegedly moving $123 million in illicit cash into cryptocurrency. The 18-month investigation, led by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and involving multiple agencies, culminated in 14 search warrants across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
A Gold Coast-based security company stands at the center of the case. Its director and general manager face charges for dealing with nearly $6.5 million in criminal proceeds. The operation allegedly mixed legitimate cash transport with funds from organized crime, funneled through secret dead-drop locations and disguised as domestic cargo before being converted into crypto assets.
