Why the police closed a blockchain investigation case where funds could have been recovered.

The case lawyer meets the Blockchain base investigator. A customer is getting defrauded for millions of SEK, bringing the case to law enforcement. Blockchain analytics indicates that a significant part of the funds can be stopped, seized, and recovered. However, the case was closed nearly immediately. Even though this is only one case, it is important to deconstruct the issues here step by step, to examine the room for improvement or how such cases could be handled in the future.

Opening Keynote

Challenge created change. Since the 24th of February 2022, the Financial Crime Fighter ecosystem has been stress tested with novel challenges or ways to bypass sanctions daily. Due to the manual nature of the work of investigators, this ecosystem is not based on machines. It is based on individuals and organizations that have kept it running. We will point out a new way how individuals and organizations started to work together as well as welcome participants to the panel, which focuses on the road ahead of us.
