According to the U.S. Embassy in Moldova, experts from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Department of Justice, together with Chainalysis analysts, conducted a series of briefings on modern methods of tracking cryptoassets.
As part of the training, participants studied approaches to darknet investigations, identification of digital assets, and mechanisms of international legal cooperation in cybercrime cases.
The program was implemented with U.S. support and is aimed at strengthening the capabilities of the Moldovan law enforcement community in combating financial cybercrime.
“With U.S. support, Moldova’s law enforcement community is strengthening its capacity to investigate financial cybercrime, helping to protect both U.S. and Moldovan citizens,” the embassy said in a statement.
It should be noted that Moldova still lacks a legal framework to regulate crypto-assets. However, a draft of the relevant law is being developed by the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) in cooperation with the National Commission for Financial Market (NCFM) with the support of the OSCE and should be submitted by the end of this year. Depending on the type of cryptoassets, supervision will be shared between the NBM and NCFM.
