The T3 FCU, a group comprising Tron, Tether, and TRM Labs, collaborated with Spanish authorities to freeze $26.4 million involved in a crypto money laundering operation. Although no arrests were made, the partnership successfully exposed and financially hindered a major international crime ring. The T3 FCU has gained recognition in recent months for taking on high-profile cases and had previously frozen $100 million in a money laundering operation. TRM Labs, a blockchain intelligence platform, likely provided critical information to Tether and Tron regarding laundered crypto assets. Tether has been actively working to combat money laundering and has frozen several major crypto scams. Tron's inclusion in the T3 Unit raised questions due to its founder's past legal issues and the firm's damaged reputation, but Tron's commitment to transparency was emphasized. The collaboration involved traditional police surveillance techniques and the analysis of blockchain data and VASP and KYC records.
