Criminal justice authorities need, more than ever, basic skills in order to cope with the emerge of the Dark Web, that favoured the virtual invisible criminals to stay connected and openly trade weapons, drugs or contract killings. Bitcoin is playing an increasing role in all illegal activities conducted in this realm.

Under the iPROCEEDS project, a “Case simulation exercise on cybercrime and financial investigations” is conducted in Belgrade, Serbia, from 8 to 11 April 2019.

Prosecutors, cybercrime investigators, financial intelligence analysts, financial investigation officers and digital forensics specialists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia are working together to undertake investigation of cybercrime and parallel financial investigations of online crime proceeds involving Dark Web and crypto currencies. They have shared information and evidence in order to investigate cybercrime and follow the criminal money flows and will eventually create a Joint Investigation Team to share intelligence across international borders.
