ITMCFM organized a remote three-day training course by a Rosfinmonitoring expert from the Crimea / Sebastopol regional branch for the Ministry of Internal Affairs cybercrime operatives from across Russia on May 16, 18, and 23.
Day 1 was focused on known ways to misuse virtual assets for criminal purposes, indicators of cybercrime, IT-related typologies for generating and laundering criminal proceeds, red flags for suspicious transactions, and national statistics and trends for criminal misuse of IT infrastructure.
Day 2 was focused on using IT to identify and investigate predicate crimes and related money laundering, and Russian and international examples of successful investigations using publicly available data.
Day 3 was split between the topic of whole-of-government and international cooperation, such as national and foreign case law on identifying, seizing, and confiscating virtual assets, and a briefing on the functionality of the Personal Account for Law Enforcement online resource provided by Rosfinmonitoring.
The certification test was available on Vkurse, an online platform supporting the International Financial Security Olympiad, with 229 tests passed by the deadline of May 29.
