This story says nothing about an alleged crime comitted to obtain 16m euros.
What the story is actually about:
“In a bid to curb money laundering, the European Union recently passed new measures to make it harder to stay anonymous when using crypto.“

Using Google Translate:

Likely this problem. Older releases of Electrum (prior to v4.0) permitted a message to be displayed by the back-end Electrum server.
