Sweden's Minister of Justice, Gunnar Strömmer, is advocating for a more aggressive approach to confiscating criminal proceeds, with a specific focus on cryptocurrency assets. He has called upon the police, tax authority, and enforcement agencies to fully utilize the asset confiscation law that was implemented last November. Strömmer emphasizes the need for strengthened cooperation between institutions to effectively target high-yield assets obtained through illegal activities. He believes that now is the opportune moment to intensify the pressure on criminals by seizing their ill-gotten gains. The asset confiscation law allows authorities to seize assets suspected of being acquired illegally, even without a conviction for a specific crime. To date, this law has resulted in the confiscation of $8.4 million in assets. This figure highlights the potential for recovering substantial sums from criminal enterprises, and the Minister is keen to see a significant increase, particularly in the realm of cryptocurrency, given its increasing use in illicit activities. Sweden aims to send a strong message that crime does not pay. ```
