100 million euros in losses. International action against a group trading luxury cars

An international operation named "Javelin" targeted a criminal group involved in luxury car trafficking across five countries, resulting in estimated losses of 100 million euros. Over 900 law enforcement officials participated, including police and tax authorities from Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland. The European Public Prosecutor's Office supervised the operation, which led to the arrest of 13 individuals and the seizure of assets worth 26 million euros, including luxury vehicles and cryptocurrencies. The group allegedly exploited a network of companies to evade VAT payments and claim undue tax refunds.
