Belgian prosecutors are in the advanced stages of an investigation into money transfer company Wise over suspicions that criminal groups used its accounts for money laundering, authorities said on Monday.

The Brussels prosecutors' office said it launched the probe last year after the British firm's name repeatedly appeared in hundreds of requests for assistance from investigating authorities in other countries.

"The investigation is now at an advanced stage and nearing its conclusion," a spokesperson for the prosecutors' office told AFP, confirming information first reported by the European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) network.
