🇷🇺 **Cryptocurrency increasingly becoming a target for criminals** 🚨

- Over the past years, more than 20 criminal cases related to cryptocurrency theft have been reviewed in Russia, with 11 cases in Moscow and the surrounding region.

- Most often, these involve fraud under the guise of investments or money exchange, as well as theft, extortion, and even kidnapping.

- Courts have already started to arrest and seize cryptocurrency, even though the law does not yet regulate this process.

- The Supreme Court has supported the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation's bill, which will officially establish the procedure for arresting digital assets.

**❗️Russian Ministry of Finance:** Cryptocurrency seized by law enforcement agencies can be sold to participants of the Experimental Legal Regime - discussions are underway to introduce a relevant bill.
