💨 Abstract

In Argentina, 12 individuals linked to the transnational criminal organization "Tren de Aragua" were arrested. The operation, involving the FBI, Interpol, and local authorities, targeted a cell involved in money laundering and terrorism financing. The group allegedly used informal systems to transfer extortion and crime proceeds from Venezuela, potentially funding international terrorism. The investigation revealed various roles within the group, including money handling and physical cash smuggling.
