Authorities carried out six arrest warrants and simultaneous searches at 16 residential and commercial properties across Germany, Italy and Spain. The operation focused on a network involved in large-scale euro counterfeiting.

In Germany, officers seized two illegally held pistols with ammunition. They also recovered counterfeit euro banknotes of Italian origin linked to the so-called "Napoli Group," along with 16 mobile phones and storage devices.

The operation included field officers and was conducted across multiple countries at the same time.
