Ukrainian police officers say they have investigated 600 suspected crimes involving crypto since the start of the year.

Forklog reported that the claim was made by Evgeny Panchenko, the head of the analytics team at the police force’s cyber division.

Panchenko claimed that most of the cases involved “cybercriminals” who used coins to “launder criminal proceeds and trade illegal goods on the darkweb.”
