EUROPOL SEES TOOLS TO TACKLE CRIME IN CRYPTOCURRENCY AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES




Abuse expands with use in the case of cryptocurrency, Europol has acknowledged
while also noting that blockchain technologies offer authorities a new
opportunity to fight crime. Europe’s law enforcement agency also says they can
help investigate money laundering networks.


UNDERSTANDING CRYPTOCURRENCIES IS VITAL TO TACKLING ORGANIZED CRIME, EUROPOL
SAYS

The growing use of cryptocurrency across borders and industries comes with
increasing abuse, new forms of crime, and money laundering, the European Union
Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has concluded after a recent
gathering with crypto experts, financial investigators, regulators, and
representatives of business.

The 6th Global Conference on Criminal Finances and Cryptocurrencies was recently
held at the agency’s headquarters in the Netherlands. The two-day event was
supported by the Basel Institute on Governance through the joint Working Group
on Criminal Finances and Cryptocurrencies and meant to boost collaboration among
participating parties in investigating and prosecuting crypto-related crimes.



Speakers also noted that when employing the right tools, blockchain technologies
can “offer an unprecedented opportunity to investigate organized crime and money
laundering networks and to recover stolen funds,” Europol said in a press
release. It emphasized that increasing understanding and capacity in the crypto
sphere is vital to tackling crime and the laundering of illicit money.

Law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and the private sector are working hard to
stay ahead of those who try to abuse crypto assets, Europol remarked. The agency
highlighted the tightening of EU legislation, with upcoming rules designed to
ensure that digital currencies like bitcoin receive the same treatment as other
assets in the context of money-laundering prevention. This is also easing
seizure and management of crypto funds, the police authority added.

Europol further pointed out that investigators are taking advantage of
blockchain-based tech to follow money flows, which has allowed them to identify
not only scammers and hackers but also to expose more ‘traditional’ crime groups
and money laundering networks. “Private companies are innovating fast to provide
the tools and analytical capacity to trace funds laundered across multiple
blockchains using different obfuscation techniques,” the agency said.



The latest edition of Europol’s crypto conference was attended by over 1,700
participants from 119 nations with speakers representing EU institutions such as
the European Parliament, crypto service providers like Binance, the world’s
leading digital asset exchange, blockchain forensics and asset recovery
companies, including Chainalysis, alongside law enforcement officials from a
number of European and other countries like the United States and South Korea.

The event follows important developments toward regulating Europe’s crypto
space. This summer, key EU institutions and member states made a deal on the
Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulatory package after reaching an agreement
to adopt a set of anti-money laundering rules for cryptocurrency transactions.
