Within the framework of Joint European Union and Council of Europe iPROCEEDS-2 project, a Guide on seizing cryptocurrencies has been developed to serve as “toolbox” for investigators all over the world in hands-on activities related to virtual currencies.
Drafted by international experts on the topic, the Guide is aiming at providing a general overview on cryptocurrencies, legal actions that can be taken when targeting illicit activities, best practices on international level and rules of seizing/freezing virtual coin.
The Guide is available in English, Albanian, Serbian, Macedonian and Turkish and can only be obtained upon request, from the Octopus Cybercrime Community page. In order to gain access to the document that is restricted to the use of state authorities, an Online request form shall be filled-in here.
