🇻🇳 More than 27,000 police officers receive training in crypto tracing and recovery
The Ministry of Public Security recently held in-person training in Hanoi and online sessions for localities and commune-level authorities, with more than 27,300 officers taking part.
The program featured experts from INTERPOL, the State Securities Commission, and companies from South Korea, the U.S., Switzerland, and Singapore. Hiếu PC, currently a senior expert at TRM (U.S.), also took part.
Today, money from scams, corruption, and gambling can be converted into crypto to conceal its origins. The training therefore focused on:
• Analyzing blockchain transactions and tracing illicit funds.
• Collecting and preserving electronic evidence.
• Coordinating with exchanges and foreign authorities to freeze and recover assets.
• Conducting a simulated scam investigation.
The Ministry of Public Security emphasized that blockchain data alone is not enough to determine who controls a wallet; it must be corroborated with other evidence. Preventing the dissipation of assets and recovering them must be done during the investigation.
What do you think: now that Vietnamese law enforcement has received comprehensive training in crypto tracing, will crypto scams become harder to get away with—or will perpetrators switch to more sophisticated ways of hiding their tracks?
