Money mules are recruited, sometimes unwittingly, by criminals to transfer illegally obtained money between different bank accounts. The vast majority of money mule transactions are linked to cybercrime, says the EU’s law enforcement intelligence agency, Europol. Europol last month announced that a repeat global law enforcement operation – dubbed the European Money Mule Action – had identified 766 money mules and 59 mule organizers operating in Europe, resulting in 159 arrests. The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team has published a guide aimed at helping people avoid participating in these crimes.”]
