Göttingen Police Probe Large-Scale Money Laundering, Online Fraud in Hann. Münden
The Göttingen Police Directorate has launched an investigation into suspected large-scale money laundering and computer fraud involving several residents of Hann. Münden since mid-May 2025.
The probe, led by the Central Criminal Investigation Department (ZKI), focuses on a network of financial agents recruited by main suspects to open accounts and facilitate fraudulent online betting transactions on Yahoo Finance. The investigation was triggered by a bank's suspicion of unusual financial flows, including credits from payment service providers and cash deposits of unknown origin. The volume of financial transactions identified was significantly higher than the legal income of those involved. Separate criminal proceedings are being conducted against the financial agents for aiding and abetting fraud. The main suspects used these accounts to process fraudulent financial transactions with betting and online casino providers on Yahoo Finance, with the financial agents having no access to the accounts. Six search warrants were executed at four locations in Hann. Münden, and evidence is undergoing IT forensic examination. This investigation is similar to one conducted in 2021, indicating a recurring pattern of organized crime in the region.
The ongoing investigation into suspected large-scale money laundering and computer fraud in Hann. Münden is a priority for the Göttingen Police Directorate. Further information will be provided as the investigation progresses, and official press releases or local news sources should be monitored for updates.
