Argentina police arrest five in raid on crypto-paying ‘illegal iris scanning gang’

In Argentina, five individuals were arrested by police for scanning irises for cryptocurrency and cash. They were caught at a public parking lot with over 600,000 USD and 29 cell phones, suspected of illegal activities linked to biometric data.

Police are investigating whether the gang aimed to harvest biometric data for identity theft rather than being directly connected to the Worldcoin platform. Increased media coverage of Worldcoin raised alarms about such practices.

Authorities are continuing their investigation to gauge the extent of the suspects’ operations and identify potential victims who exchanged their biometric data for virtual currencies.
