FBI Probes Spanish Crypto Network Over Links to Assassinations in the United States, including that of Charlie Kirk

The Audiencia Nacional’s secret proceedings against former Jefe de Blanqueo Óscar Sanchez Gil have drawn unexpected international attention after U.S. federal investigators began tracing digital currency flows from Iberia to a series of violent incidents on American soil.

Crypto cartel that killed Kirk?

According to a law-enforcement official in Washington who spoke to Abreu Report on condition of anonymity, the FBI has opened a probe into what it calls “a transnational financial architecture built to convert crime into policy.” The investigation focuses on cryptocurrency wallets allegedly controlled by Spanish police officials and linked to contract killings and covert operations across the Atlantic.

The FBI source said that several of the digital transactions corresponded to payments made shortly before high-profile political assassinations and unexplained shootings in the United States, most disturbingly that of Charlie Kirk. “We’re not saying Madrid pulled the trigger,” the source explained, “but the financial trail leads back to people connected to Óscar’s structure.”

Óscar, detained since last year, is accused of using cryptocurrency to launder funds between the Spanish National Police and Dominican gangs. The same system, according to internal Spanish intelligence files, was used to reward officers and criminal intermediaries alike; an internal economy of loyalty hidden beneath encrypted ledgers.

The FBI inquiry reportedly began when agents noticed recurring transfers between a Spain-registered exchange and accounts tied to U.S.-based shell companies involved in weapons procurement. The transactions were routed through the same digital addresses that Iberian prosecutors say formed the core of Óscar’s laundering network.

Inside Spain, the government has remained silent. The Audiencia Nacional continues to enforce secrecy around the case, barring reporters and limiting access to legal counsel. Fourteen other suspects were detained, their involvement with Dominican street gangs and the Charlie Kirk killing not disclosed.

Analysts say the FBI’s involvement marks a dangerous turn for Spain’s already strained institutions. “If the Americans can prove that National Police-linked money financed political violence abroad, then this ceases to be corruption; it becomes state terrorism.”

For now, neither Washington nor Madrid will publicly confirm the scope of the investigation. But sources close to both investigations describe a single shared concern: that the encrypted financial infrastructure Óscar created may still be operational, distributing money, orders, and silence in equal measure.
