意大利当局周三采取行动逮捕30人，他们被指控经营一家与黑手党有关联的地下银行，将约6800万欧元转移至国外，并利用加密货币洗白非法资金，米兰检察官表示。
Italian authorities moved to arrest 30 people accused of running a mafia-linked underground bank that transferred about €68 million abroad and used cryptocurrencies to launder illicit funds, Milan prosecutors said Wednesday.
意大利金融警察发现了一个网络，该网络将来自贩毒、虚假企业发票和常规银行账户的现金结合起来，将资金转移至国外及加密货币钱包。
Italy’s financial police uncovered a network that combined cash from drug trafficking, fraudulent corporate invoices and conventional bank accounts to move money abroad and into cryptocurrency wallets.
检察官称，打击行动延伸至西班牙，当地警方正在执行欧洲逮捕令，而瑞士当局正寻求拘留另一名嫌疑人。
The crackdown extended to Spain, where local police were executing European arrest warrants, while Swiss authorities were seeking to detain another suspect, prosecutors said.
此案为传统有组织犯罪利用加密货币提供了一个窗口，这超出了人们常将数字资产与之联系在一起的网络犯罪活动范畴。据区块链分析公司Chainalysis的一份报告，这发生在加密货币犯罪激增之际，2025年非法钱包地址收到的资金至少达1540亿美元，较上年增长162%。
The case provides a window into the use of cryptocurrencies by traditional organized crime, beyond the online criminal activity often associated with digital assets. It comes amid a surge in crypto crime, with illicit wallet addresses receiving at least $154 billion in 2025, a 162% increase from a year earlier, according to a report by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.
意大利检察官揭露的这起计划的核心，是米兰附近Pero的一家汽车租赁业务，据称该业务作为一家由与“恩德朗盖塔”和“卡莫拉”有关联的嫌疑人运营的秘密银行，这两个是意大利最大的黑手党组织。检察官称，中国和阿尔巴尼亚同伙协助运营该网络。
At the center of the scheme uncovered by Italian prosecutors was a car-rental business in Pero, near Milan, which allegedly served as a secret bank run by suspects linked to the ‘Ndrangheta and the Camorra, two of Italy’s largest mafia organizations. Chinese and Albanian accomplices helped operate the network, prosecutors said.
空壳公司开具从未提供过的服务发票，使建筑、物流等行业的串通企业得以减少应纳税收入。检察官称，企业通过银行转账付款后，该涉嫌网络将扣除佣金后的资金以现金形式返还。
Shell companies issued invoices for services never provided, allowing complicit businesses in construction, logistics and other industries to reduce their taxable income. After the businesses paid by bank transfer, the alleged network returned the money in cash, minus a commission, according to prosecutors.
检察官称，两名中国公民协助收集现金，其中大部分据称源自逃税犯罪。其他供应商交付贩毒所得，并以此换取加密货币或国际银行转账。
Two Chinese nationals helped collect cash, much of it allegedly stemming from tax offenses. Other suppliers delivered proceeds from drug trafficking and received cryptocurrencies or international bank transfers in exchange, prosecutors said.
积存在空壳公司账户中的资金被转移至卢森堡、立陶宛和德国的银行，随后通过加密货币交易所流入嫌疑犯罪组织控制的数字钱包。
Funds accumulated in the shell companies’ accounts were moved to banks in Luxembourg, Lithuania and Germany before being routed through cryptocurrency exchanges into digital wallets controlled by the alleged organization.
调查人员查明虚假发票涉及金额超过1.1亿欧元，并发现该网络还处理了来自网络加密货币投资诈骗受害者的被盗资金。
Investigators identified more than €110 million in false invoices and found that the network also handled money stolen from victims of online cryptocurrency investment scams.
据调查显示，部分收益涉嫌用于资助被监禁的“恩德朗盖塔”成员，车辆和武器则被提供给意大利南部另一犯罪集团的成员。
Some proceeds were allegedly used to support imprisoned ’Ndrangheta members, while vehicles and weapons were supplied to associates of another criminal group in southern Italy, according to the investigation.
检方还报告了涉嫌腐败行为，一名米兰法院工作人员被指控泄露正在进行的调查信息。
Prosecutors also reported alleged corruption involving a Milan court employee accused of leaking information about ongoing investigations.
