Money mule

Greek police (ELAS) took part in the fourth European Money Mule Action (EMMA 4), a large-scale police operation from September 1 to November 30, which saw the participation of law enforcement officials from some 26 countries, including non-European countries, Australia and the US.

Police forces across Europe and the United States arrested 178 people as part of a crackdown on money laundering last week and identified some 23 million euros (19.65 million pounds) in stolen funds, the European Union judicial agency Eurojust said.
