The Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia, the United States Secret Service, the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime of the Republic of Poland, and the Łódź District Prosecutor’s Office, as well as the investigative services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia and the Ministry of Finance, conducted a large-scale operation in Georgia.

As reported at a briefing held today at the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia, approximately 100 employees of law enforcement agencies from the United States, Poland, and Georgia participated in the special operation. It was carried out with the support of Eurojust and Europol, in cooperation with international partners, and investigative actions were conducted at dozens of locations across Georgia.

As part of the operation, searches were carried out of individuals, their homes, vehicles, and workplaces. As a result, electronic evidence and documentation important to the investigation were seized. At the same time, 173 vehicles, high-value real estate, and funds held in bank accounts—allegedly acquired for the purpose of laundering illegal income—were also seized.

According to the authorities, on June 10, as part of a joint operation, members of an organized criminal group—two foreign citizens—were detained in the Adjara region.

“Investigations in various countries into the aforementioned criminal case have established that an organized crime group, operating under the pseudonym “AudiA6” since 2022, provided cybercriminals and other criminals with services for laundering illegally obtained cryptocurrency in the online space, thereby covering up traces of crimes from law enforcement agencies in exchange for substantial profits.

Between 2022 and 2025, within the framework of these illegal activities, members of “AudiA6” allegedly laundered cryptocurrency worth several hundred million US dollars.

In addition, the criminal group also operated a cybercrime forum called “Dark2Web,” which was used to advertise illegal services and connect cybercriminals worldwide.

The effective fight against transnational crime is of particular importance to the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia, which has significant experience in international cooperation in this field.

The Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia expresses its gratitude to the employees of the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia, the Investigation Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Finance for the highly professional and successful implementation of the operation. It also thanks representatives of Eurojust and Europol for their assistance within the joint operation.

The Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia confirms its respect for the United States Secret Service, the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime of the Republic of Poland, and the Łódź District Prosecutor’s Office, and once again expresses its readiness for effective cooperation in the fight against transnational crime,” the Georgian Prosecutor’s Office stated.
