Major Raid in Bavaria Targets Illegal Banking and Human Trafficking Network

Authorities have dismantled a criminal operation in Nürnberg and Munich involved in Hawala banking and smuggling activities.

Three suspects have been arrested in a large-scale operation against organized crime in Nürnberg and Munich.
The network is accused of conducting illegal Hawala banking transactions disguised as legitimate retail operations.
Daily transactions reportedly involved sums in the mid to high five-figure range, with larger amounts sent abroad.
Approximately one million euros in cash were seized during the raids, along with drugs and other evidence.
The investigation also uncovered links to illegal smuggling of Syrian nationals into Germany and potential kidnappings.
