Argentina Trains Prosecutors to Track and Seize Cryptocurrency Assets

Argentina's Public Prosecutor's Office has trained its prosecutors and officials to track and seize virtual assets as cryptocurrency plays an increasingly larger role in criminal investigations across the country.

The training, which was held remotely on August 19 and September 2, focused on the technical knowledge required when digital assets are involved in financial or criminal investigations. The course covered topics such as digital wallet analysis, crypto tracing, legal frameworks, and procedures for freezing or seizing funds.

Argentina's courts have previously frozen millions of dollars in USDT and traced cryptocurrency transactions in major criminal investigations, including the LIBRA probe. In July, an Argentine judge ordered the identification of people behind 25 cryptocurrency wallets connected to the $LIBRA investigation and froze assets linked to the addresses.
