It is also known that the cryptocurrency tracking game is being developed in partnership with the Center for the Study of Terrorism, Organized Crime and Intelligence at the University of Sheffield Hallam, and the launch of the final version of the product is scheduled for October.
"This game is the first opportunity to use gamification for training law enforcement officers in the field of cryptocurrency and investigations in general," the service stressed.
Earlier, during the international operation with the participation of Europol and law enforcement agencies of the Federal Republic of Germany , the dark wall-marketplace of the Wall Street Market was found and confiscated . Three arrests were also made.
At the same time, the Finnish customs officers closed the dark marketplace Silkkitie (or Valhalla).
