money laundering cases


AUSTRALIA POLICE FORM DIGITAL ASSET UNIT AMID RISING ‘CRYPTO’ MONEY LAUNDERING
CASES

Business 10 September 2022

Steve Kaaru

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has set up a new unit dedicated to cracking
down on digital asset-related crime.

The AFP has been cracking down on digital asset money laundering and other
related crimes for years now. However, these activities have not been
coordinated by one unit, which would make them more efficient, AFP’s criminal
asset confiscation command Stefan Jerga told the Australian Financial Review.

“The environment was such that we felt a standalone team [was required], rather
than a lot of officers picking up some of this skill set as part of their
overall role. So we’ve now got a dedicated team that continues to grow,” Jerga
said.

The new unit is in line with similar global developments as more regulators
focus on the rapidly-growing industry. In the U.K., the Financial Conduct
Authority (FCA) recently tapped a former police officer to head its new digital
assets unit starting in October. Earlier this year, the FBI launched the
National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, headed by longtime prosecutor Eun
Young Choi. The SEC also revamped and renamed its Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit,
doubling the headcount.

Australia’s new unit will focus on seizing criminal assets, but it will also
play a big role in other related probes, Jerga revealed.

“It’s targeting assets, but it’s also providing that valuable, investigative
tracing capability and lens for all of our commands across all of our
businesses, whether they’re national security-related, child protection,
cyber—or the ability to trace cryptocurrency transactions across the relevant
blockchains is really, really important,” he said.

The AFP’s criminal asset confiscation department has exceeded expectations,
seizing over AUD600 million since February 2020. Only a marginal portion of this
has been linked to digital assets, but the AFP is taking no chances.

The launch of the new unit comes just months after the deputy chief executive of
Australia’s financial intelligence agency, AUSTRAC, claimed that criminals were
exploiting digital assets to launder money. 

John Moss cited Chainalysis figures which found criminal activities to
constitute 0.15% of global transaction volumes. This was four times higher than
the 0.035% share of transactions on the four largest banks linked to crimes.
However, with Australia’s GDP at $1.8 trillion, the banks’ share, though smaller
by proportion, is much bigger in actual size.
