As part of the latest effort to crack down on money mule schemes in Europe, the Slovenian police investigated 126 cases to identify a total of 156 money mules.

A total loss by legal entities and individuals of EUR 1.4 million was thus prevented, the General Police Administration said. The seventh European Money Mule Action identified more than 18,000 mules and helped prevent EUR 70 million in damage in 27 countries. It was conducted between 15 September and 30 November.
