The arrests and seizures are part of an ongoing investigation into a suspected money laundering ring believed to be funnelling proceeds from various overseas organised crime activities, including scams and online gambling. According to a statement released by the police on Wednesday evening, the operation aimed to dismantle this illicit network that had been operating within the country.
