Spanish police have arrested a suspected member of the Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua in Madrid in a case tied to alleged cyberattacks on U.S. banking systems used to finance the organization.
According to Spain's Ministry of Interior, the suspect was wanted by U.S. authorities for crimes against financial institutions and was subject to an international arrest warrant issued through Interpol. Police said the individual "would have participated in a network in the United States dedicated to hacking ATMs," using specialized malware to withdraw cash fraudulently and funnel funds to the criminal network.
