The Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), together with international law enforcement officers, conducted a training session for Ukrainian police officers to teach them how to track illegal crypto transactions.
The IRS has joined forces with the Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD), as well as the UK's Royal Revenue and Customs Service (HMRC), to help Ukrainian police officers fight cybercriminals more effectively. The initiative was joined by analytical companies CipherTrace, BlockTrace and Chainalysis, who spoke about the subtleties of tracking cryptocurrency transactions in blockchains.
Training seminars were held from September 18 to 21 with the participation of 40 employees of the Cyber Police Department of the National Police of Ukraine, the Bureau of Economic Security, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the National Bureau of Investigation. They discussed anti-money laundering tools, analysis of suspicious transactions with cryptocurrencies, and the use of blockchains for conducting forensic examinations.
In May, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies already participated in a similar educational program, the results of which were recognized as successful. After training and passing the exam, participants received a special certificate of completion of the training.
"It is useful for public institutions to cooperate with private companies at the international level. We are helping the Ukrainian police reduce the number of violators evading sanctions," said Jim Lee, head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In early August, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) requested financial statements for the first two quarters of 2023 from local cryptocurrency services. According to the Ukrainian authorities, cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the country have not paid taxes on $81 million since 2013.
