€30m of cryptocurrency seized by gardaí
€30 million in cryptocurrency has been seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau, supported by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre.
A cryptocurrency wallet containing 500 bitcoins was seized, which gardaí have said are the proceeds of crime.
Europol hosted operational meetings at its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands and provided critical support to Bureau investigators and analysts with the provision of highly complex technical expertise and decryption resources vital to the success of the operation.
