Israeli police have arrested five individuals in a money laundering investigation involving approximately 16 million shekels (about $5 million). The related cryptocurrency transactions were arranged through a WhatsApp group. Investigators suspect that the group provided cryptocurrency services without a license and failed to report the transactions to the Israeli tax authorities. Police stated that the group used fictitious agreements to make the cryptocurrency earnings deposited into bank accounts appear as loans. During the search, wallets, computers, and tens of thousands of shekels in cash were seized. The five individuals were questioned on suspicion of money laundering, fraud, and providing financial asset services without a license.
