“ASGARD & Olympus Prime”
Global Fraud Case
Europol announced on January 12, 2023, that authorities from Serbia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Germany, supported by Europol and Eurojust, are investigating organized crime groups involved in cryptocurrency investment fraud. The investigation, led by Belgrade’s high-tech crime prosecutor, targets fraudulent activities potentially involving 150 to 200 individuals in Serbia and includes over twenty financial probes to trace money flows and seize luxury assets.
This global fraud case, affecting 127,000 victims from countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Japan and others is linked to companies ASGARD and Olympus Prime operating out of Serbia. The financial damage is estimated at $7 billion, reflecting funds displayed on Olympus Prime’s platforms during the raid. The scheme used fake platforms to mimic market activities, deceiving clients into believing they were making profitable cryptocurrency investments. Investigators have identified over 80 fraudulent investment platforms associated with these companies.
