Polish authorities have arrested Dmitry V., a Russian man connected to the defunct WEX cryptocurrency exchange. The arrest took place in the Wola district of Warsaw, carried out by the "Shadow Hunters," an elite unit from Poland's Central Bureau of Police Investigation (CBŚP). This operation was based on an extradition warrant issued by the U.S. Department of Justice. Dmitry V. is suspected of being involved in fraudulent activities and money laundering related to the WEX exchange, which was one of the largest crypto platforms in Russia before its closure in 2018. The WEX exchange collapsed, leading to losses of hundreds of millions of dollars. Some sources have speculated that the exchange may have been used for money laundering, potentially even funding political or military operations linked to Russian government interests. Polish media have also raised concerns about possible Kremlin connections in the misuse of WEX to finance these operations. This is not the first t...

Two individuals, Shakeel Mohammed and Sunil Prajapat, were arrested in Alwar, Rajasthan, for their involvement in a fraudulent online scam. The accused are allegedly behind the creation of fake Facebook profiles, one of which impersonated Bhopal's top cop, Harinarayanachari Mishra, the city's Police Commissioner.
