The London Police is set to crackdown on crimes implemented using cryptocurrencies and has introduced a 40-member team for the purpose, according to a report. The territorial police force believes that digital assets play an “endemic role” in organized crime, and therefore, the need to combat the growing illicit activity in the crypto space is a must. 

Financial Times'a göre bildiriLondra Polisi, gündemlerini ilerletmek için kripto para birimleri kullanan suçlularla mücadele etmek için 40 üyeli bir ekip kurdu. Birleşik Krallık'taki (Birleşik Krallık) en büyük polis gücü olan Londra Metropolitan Polisi, yıllar içinde dijital varlık alanındaki suçla mücadele çabalarını artırdı. 

Detective Inspector Geoff Donoghue of the London Police’s crypto investigation team noted that “crypto was once considered a niche within criminal enterprises, but there has been growing evidence that is no longer the case,” while adding: 

“Cryptocurrencies give a new dimension to the settlement of value transfer . . . everywhere that we have looked, we have found [crypto]. The evidence is suggesting an endemic role of cryptocurrency in organized crime.”

Interestingly, the crypto team was created in May and, since then, has responded to 74 intelligence referrals, which has now resulted in 19 active criminal cases. Donoghue noted that there has been significant evidence of crypto being used in fields involving “drugs, guns, girls, and workers.”

The London Police’s focus on digital assets comes at a time when the broader crypto industry is facing increased scrutiny from regulators around the globe. Recently,the United States Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) revealed a new Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) that Kripto karıştırıcılar için katı talimatlar getirildi to follow. The rulemaking requires firms engaging in crypto activities to report any transaction that might’ve been involved with mixers. 

İlginç bir şekilde, Londra Polisi'nde siber dedektif olan Mat Stanley, dijital varlıkların fiyatlarındaki düşüşün ve ayı piyasasının, halen yükselişte olan kripto para birimlerinin yasa dışı kullanımını etkilemediğini kaydetti.

“We’ve sat through a couple of crashes now . . . but if you’re buying £100 of drugs, you don’t care if that costs one bitcoin or 0.1 bitcoin,” Stanley said.
