Report to the police?

Questioner

I met someone online last year. In short, the following happened. The person asked me to use my bank account because his account was blocked. He then asked his client to transfer the money to me and I transferred that money to him via Coinbase. The bank told me that the money had been obtained through fraud. I was not aware of this and the bank told me to report it to the police. I went to the police twice, but they indicated that because I did not transfer the money under duress, I could not report it. What is confusing to me is that both the fraud helpdesk and a lawyer I consulted indicate that the police are obliged to have me report it. This is according to article 163 paragraph 9 SV. I am now registered as a fraudster at my bank. I understand that what I did was quite stupid, but I was convinced that I was helping someone in need. I am deeply ashamed and try to avoid as many people as possible because I do not know how to tell them. My question is: Is there a way I can still file a report so that my name can be cleared? I look forward to hearing from you.
