2022: Using the service to identify critical currency fraudsters
In December 2022, it became known that Russian police use the digital service "Personal Account of a Law Enforcement Agency," which helps to identify cryptocurrency fraudsters.
 | "There is already a positive experience in using this tool to identify unscrupulous owners of crypto wallets," said Police Lieutenant General Andrei Kurnosenko, head of the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, in an interview with TASS. |  |
He clarified that the project has already been implemented and is working successfully. In addition, the service helps to assess "financial risks in the economy" throughout the country, showing the results of the implementation of national projects, as well as demonstrating work in the timber industry, housing and communal services, the defense industry, cybercrime and other areas.
As RBC reminds on December 9, 2022, earlier investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened the first criminal case in Russia on embezzlement of funds and property of the crypto exchange. One of the actual owners of the trading platform, which controlled the movements of large amounts in cryptocurrency and transferred them to electronic wallets, withdrew part of the funds and appropriated them.
The suspect was detained in a hotel at a private airfield in the Moscow region. With him, the detainee in two travel suitcases had cash worth over 190 million rubles. The police also conducted 29 searches in the homes of the defendant and his alleged accomplices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Yal.
On December 5, 2022, Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, said that cryptocurrency in Russia would be legalized in 2023, but it could not be used as a means of payment within the country. Cryptocurrency will be used, among other things, to pay for parallel imports and supplies of goods to Russia, the deputy emphasized.[1]
