The "study abroad" company was involved in a major "money laundering" case of USDT worth more than 8 million yuan, and the Jiaozhou police in Qingdao arrested 9 suspects in the case

Recently, the Madian Police Station in Jiaozhou City, Qingdao City is prosecuting a case of using the virtual currency USDT to carry out information network crimes. Currently, 9 suspects have been arrested, and the amount involved in the case exceeds 8 million yuan.

The arrest of telecom fraudsters involves a complex criminal network

In February this year, the Jiaozhou Municipal Public Security Bureau discovered that a fugitive suspected of telecommunications fraud was operating within the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou City. The police launched a random arrest operation and captured Xue at his residence on February 24.
After Xue was arrested, during the interrogation process, the police found that a person named Kuang who had a cooperative relationship with him was very suspicious. From the chat records between Xue and Kuang on Xue’s mobile phone, it was found that Xue had clearly marked the price of Helped Kuang Moumou to open a public account many times, and the name information of the public account opened was related to "study abroad".

The frequent exchanges between the two seemed to hide a more complex criminal network. The police immediately set up a task force and launched a more in-depth investigation.
"After analyzing the transfer records containing the name 'Study Abroad', the task force speculated that the suspect mainly used the business license to open a public account and then purchased 'U coins' to launder illegal money." said Ding Zizhen, a police officer from Madian Police Station. .

Qingdao Jiaozhou police quickly launched further arrest operations

The police then quickly launched an arrest operation and captured Xue's partner Kuang on February 26. After interrogating him, Kuang admitted that he cooperated with the other two people, Sun and Sui.
The criminal organization used the public account opened by Xue in the name of "study abroad" to use illegal funds to purchase USDT, and then returned it to superiors in exchange for commissions. In this illegal activity, Kuang recruited other people to help obtain a business license and official account.

All main suspects in the case were arrested

Based on the clues they obtained, the Jiaozhou police quickly grasped the whereabouts of Sun and Sui through their work, and arrested Sun and Sui respectively in February. The two confessed to their criminal acts.
After four months, the police arrested another six people, including Kuang, who were suspected of buying and selling national documents. All members of the criminal gang were eventually arrested. Currently, Kuang and three other people have been criminally detained in accordance with the law. Kuang and other six people have been released on bail pending trial in accordance with the law. The case is under further investigation.
