According to an official, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) of the United Kingdom has placed crypto tactical advisors in policing departments to assist in the investigation and seizure of digital assets linked to crime. “There are officers now in every force, in every regional organised crime unit, trained and equipped to do that,” Andrew Gould, staff officer for the NPCC’s cryptocurrency portfolio, said during a hearing for the new Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency bill on Tuesday. The bill aims to give law enforcement the ability to easily freeze crypto assets linked to criminal activity.
