BaFin 在德国各地没收未经授权的加密货币 ATM 机

德国最高金融监管机构联邦金融监管局（BaFin）周二宣布，已查获加密货币 ATM 机

Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has announced the seizure of 13 unauthorized cryptocurrency ATMs in a nationwide operation. The ATMs were confiscated as part of raids on 35 locations, involving 60 officers from BaFin, the police, and the Deutsche Bundesbank, in coordination with the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA).

德国联邦金融监管局 (BaFin) 宣布在全国范围内扣押 13 台未经授权的加密货币 ATM。在联邦刑事警察局 (BKA) 的协调下，BaFin、警方和德意志联邦银行的 60 名警官参与了对 35 个地点的突击搜查，这些 ATM 机被没收。

During the operation, approximately €250,000 in cash was also seized. The confiscated ATMs were operating without the necessary permission from BaFin, posing a risk of money laundering, the authority stated.

在行动中，还查获了约 25 万欧元现金。当局表示，被没收的 ATM 机在未经德国联邦金融监管局 (BaFin) 必要许可的情况下运行，存在洗钱风险。

According to German law, conducting currency exchanges between euros and cryptocurrencies is classified as either proprietary trading or a banking activity, both of which legally require explicit approval from BaFin.

根据德国法律，在欧元和加密货币之间进行货币兑换被归类为自营交易或银行活动，这两种活动在法律上都需要获得 BaFin 的明确批准。

“Failure to do so renders the business illegal and will be prosecuted by the police and public prosecutor’s office,” BaFin highlighted, adding that the perpetrators face up to five years’ imprisonment.

德国联邦金融监管局强调：“如果不这样做，该企业将被视为非法，并将受到警方和检察官办公室的起诉。”他补充说，肇事者将面临最高五年的监禁。

The seized ATMs were located in several major German cities and were reportedly used by individuals with criminal intent, facilitating transactions that could circumvent money laundering controls.

被查获的自动取款机位于德国几个主要城市，据报道，这些自动取款机被有犯罪意图的个人使用，为可能规避洗钱管制的交易提供便利。

Transactions over €10,000 require customer identity verification under “Know Your Customer” (KYC) regulations to prevent money laundering. If there is suspicion of illegal activity or terrorism financing, it must be reported to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

超过 10,000 欧元的交易需要根据“了解您的客户”(KYC) 法规进行客户身份验证，以防止洗钱。如果怀疑存在非法活动或恐怖主义融资，必须向金融情报室（FIU）报告。
