According to a post on Binance's website, over 30 INTERPOL officers participated in the training held on Jan. 24. The session was led by Binance's Financial Crime Compliance team and focused on digital asset investigations and cybercrime threat mitigation. The company's experts imparted knowledge on the techniques they employ to assist global law enforcement agencies and collaborative efforts such as seizing illicit funds. Jarek Jakubcek, Binance's Head of Law Enforcement Training, stated that the company employs a "holistic and collaborative approach" to cybersecurity and is "honored" to play a leading role in collaborating with law enforcement. In 2023 alone, Binance’s Financial Crime Compliance team conducted 120 law enforcement training sessions.
Horest Au Yeung, an INTERPOL representative, expressed in a statement shared in the post that as digital asset adoption continues to rise, more crimes are being witnessed in the digital space. He emphasized the importance of cross-collaborations between industry experts like Binance and the law enforcement community for effective information sharing and strategy refinement to tackle this emerging type of cyber transgressions. He said: "We recognize the value of these sessions in helping us to foster a deeper understanding of the Web3 space so that we are better prepared to address related threats in the future."
Documents disclosed during Binance's settlement with U.S. government agencies last November revealed praises for Binance's collaboration with global law enforcement agencies from bodies such as the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), according to another post. FinCEN acknowledged that Binance "works closely with law enforcement agencies worldwide related to this type of illicit activity, including Hydra, darknet markets, and hacks" and has "proactively cooperated with global law enforcement and blockchain vendors to combat terrorism financing."
Launched in 2017 as per CoinMarketCap, Binance had a daily trading volume of approximately $76 billion as of August 2022, making it the world's largest crypto exchange. Binance lists over 350 tokens and enables users to buy, sell, and store digital assets.
