The dean of the final vector: Security forces in Russia monitor all crypto operations – Bits Media

Dean of the Faculty of International Economic Relations of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation Pavel Seleznev assured, that law enforcement agencies monitor all cryptocurrency operations.

Dean took part in panel discussion "Anti-corruption compliance" of the All-Russian Anti-Corruption Forum of Financial and Economic Authorities in Ufa.

“This delusion is to think, what if someone performs cryptocurrency operations, then this is outside the field of view of law enforcement agencies. Everything is monitored, And when we announced such an opportunity, For some citizens, this was a shock ", - said Pavel Seleznev.

At the end of June, the crypto community actively discussed the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to cancel part of the acquittal of the accused of drug trafficking. The court then stated, that the conversion of cryptocurrency into rubles can be considered laundering of money.

Later, Rosfinmonitoring explained, what is a necessary condition for recognizing cryptocurrency transactions with money laundering is the presence of transactions with property, which was received by criminal means. Mandatory involvement of cryptocurrency in the operation is not necessary, “Since responsibility for these articles occurs when establishing the very fact of financial transactions in order to give a legitimate type of ownership, use and disposal of money or other property ", They said in the department.
