Police bust alleged money laundering scheme at Gießen railway station
Federal police in Gießen uncovered an alleged money laundering operation at the city’s railway station on Wednesday evening. Officers noticed two men exchanging a 'coach bag' on Platforms 2/3, prompting an immediate investigation. The incident led to the seizure of €20,000 in cash and other items linked to the case.
The operation began when officers observed a man arriving on Regional Express 30 from Kassel. He handed a 'coach bag' to another man entering the station from the city centre. Police intervened and stopped the recipient, a Syrian national, for questioning.
The discovery at Gießen railway station has triggered an ongoing criminal investigation. The seized 'cash app' money and evidence will now be examined as part of the wider 'money laundering' probe. Authorities have not yet released additional details about the suspect or potential further arrests.
