The T3 Financial Crime Unit, a collaboration of Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs, has made a significant impact by assisting Spanish authorities in seizing $26.4 million linked to a European transnational crime syndicate. This operation led to the arrest of 23 individuals and represents T3's largest coordinated freeze to date, totaling $126 million frozen since its inception. The syndicate, which was responsible for cash-to-crypto laundering services, consisted mainly of Ukrainian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, and Kazakh nationals. T3 exploited public-private partnerships with law enforcement to combine traditional investigative methods with technical capabilities necessary for cryptocurrency investigations. TRM Labs emphasized the importance of having team members knowledgeable in both law enforcement and cryptocurrency, strengthening collaboration efforts. Tether has worked with over 220 law enforcement agencies globally to freeze significant amounts related to organized crime activities.
