全球金融犯罪行动HAECHI-IV成功抓获3500名罪犯

A six-month-long international police operation codenamed HAECHI-IV has resulted in the arrests of nearly 3,500 individuals and seizures worth $300 million across 34 countries.

一个为期六个月的国际警方行动，代号为HAECHI-IV，已导致在34个国家逮捕了近3500人，并查获总值3亿美元的财产。

The exercise, which took place from July through December 2023, took aim at various types of financial crimes such as voice phishing, romance scams, online sextortion, investment fraud, money laundering associated with illegal online gambling, business email compromise fraud, and e-commerce fraud.

此次行动从2023年7月至12月进行，旨在打击各种类型的金融犯罪，如电话诈骗、网络诈骗、在线性敲诈、投资诈骗、与非法在线赌博相关的洗钱、商业电子邮件欺诈以及电子商务欺诈。

In addition, authorities froze associated bank and virtual asset service provider (VASP) accounts in an effort to shut off access to criminal proceeds. In total, authorities blocked 82,112 suspicious bank accounts, confiscating $199 million in hard currency and $101 million in virtual assets.

此外，当局冻结了与银行和虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）有关的账户，以阻断犯罪所得的获取。总共，当局封锁了82112个可疑银行账户，没收了1.99亿美元的硬通货和1.01亿美元的虚拟资产。

"Cooperation between Filipino and Korean authorities led to the arrest in Manila of a high-profile online gambling criminal after a two-year manhunt by Korea's National Police Agency," Interpol, an international police organization, said.

"菲律宾和韩国当局合作导致了在马尼拉逮捕一名高调的在线赌博罪犯，这名罪犯在韩国国家警察机构进行为期两年的追捕后被抓获，"国际刑警组织表示。

Investment fraud, business email compromise, and e-commerce fraud accounted for 75% of the cases, the agency added, stating it detected a new scam in South Korea that involved the sale of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with promises of huge returns, only for the operators to stage a rug pull and abruptly abandon the project.

投资诈骗、商业电子邮件欺诈和电子商务欺诈占了75%的案件，该机构补充说，在韩国发现了一种涉及出售非同质化通证（NFT）并承诺巨额回报的新骗局，只是运营商最终操纵价格并突然放弃了项目。

Another novel trend concerned the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfake technology to elevate the authenticity of scams, enabling criminals to impersonate people known to the targets, as well as deceive, defraud, harass, and extort victims through impersonation scams, online sexual blackmail, and investment fraud.

另一个新的趋势与使用人工智能（AI）和深度伪造技术有关，以提高欺诈的真实性，使犯罪分子能够冒充目标所熟知的人物，并通过冒充骗局、在线性敲诈和投资诈骗欺骗、勒索受害者。

HAECHI-IV comes more than a year after HAECHI-III, which led to the seizure of $130 million worth of virtual assets in connection with a global crackdown on cyber-enabled financial crimes and money laundering.

HAECHI-IV是在超过一年后的HAECHI-III之后进行的，后者导致查获了价值1.3亿美元的虚拟资产，涉及对网络金融犯罪和洗钱的全球打击。

"The seizure of $300 million represents a staggering sum and clearly illustrates the incentive behind today's explosive growth of transnational organized crime," Interpol's Stephen Kavanagh said. "This vast accumulation of unlawful wealth is a serious threat to global security and weakens the economic stability of nations worldwide."

"3亿美元的查获代表了一笔巨额资金，清楚地说明了当今跨国有组织犯罪爆炸性增长背后的动因，"国际刑警组织的史蒂芬·卡范纳格说。"这种大规模非法财富的积累对全球安全构成严重威胁，并削弱了世界各国的经济稳定性。"
