🇻🇳More than 27,000 police officers trained 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 US, Switzerland, and Singapore. Hiếu PC, now a senior expert at TRM 🇺🇸, 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 agencies 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 cross-checked against other evidence. Preventing assets from being moved and recovering them must happen during the investigation.
