Crypto Industry News:
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is working with law enforcement agencies in Ukraine to tackle large-scale money laundering operations.
Working with the stock exchange, the Ukrainian cyber police identified and arrested a group of criminals involved in a $ 42 million ransomware and money laundering operation. According to the report, the criminal group has laundered millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies since 2018. A Binance representative said all suspects were Ukrainian citizens and were arrested in June 2020. The group operated mainly in Ukraine, but was also involved in several cyberattacks on a global scale. The Ombudsman refused to provide additional information on the size of the group or other persons and entities involved.
An effective investigation takes place shortly after Binance began working with Ukrainian law enforcement agencies in early 2020.
The investigation is part of the so-called Binance project "Bulletproof Exchangers", which aims to track transactions between Binance and high-risk entities. These kinds of investigations are mainly conducted by Binance's internal risk intelligence unit known as Binance Sentry, as well as by the analytics division, Security Data Science.
