The monadrada police of the royal royalty (RCMP) They have executed the largest seizure of cryptocurrencies in the country to date, recovering more than $ 56 million of CAD in cryptography of the tradeogre exchange.
The measure not only marks an seizure of records, but also the first time that the Canadian police authorities have dismantled a cryptocurrency trade platform, said the RCMP in a press release.
According to the division of the eastern region of the authorities, the seizure followed a one -year investigation by the money laundering research team (Mlit). The case began in June 2024 after a Europol Council arrived, which marked the alleged breach of the platform with the Canadian law.
The researchers determined that Tradeogre had not been registered at the Canada Financial and Reports Analysis Analysis Center (FINTRAC) As a money service business and did not verify the identities of its customers, authorities claim.
The RCMP alleges that most of the funds that passed by tradeogre arose from illegal sources. By offering an anonymous account creation, the platform provided an easy entrance door for organized crimes groups that seek to hide the origins of their money, they say.
“The transaction data obtained from the platform will be analyzed and they can follow the positions. The investigation is ongoing,” RCMP wrote in their press release.
