As digital technologies reshape the landscape of crime, staying ahead of emerging threats is more critical than ever. In response to these challenges, the Western Balkans Criminal Justice (WBCJ) Project organised together with the European Judicial Cybercrime Network (EJCN), the SIRIUS Project, and the CyberSEE Project a two-day seminar on investigations involving crypto-assets and e-evidence, which took place in the National Prosecutor’s Office of Poland on 8-9 April 2025 under the auspices of the Polish Presidency.
The event brought together prosecutors and investigators from the Western Balkans to share their experiences, discuss challenges, and strengthen overall cooperation in the fight against cybercrime. Additionally, the participants were able to benefit from the experiences of EU prosecutors specialised in this matter.
Sessions included a wide range of topics such as tracing and seizing crypto-assets, discussions on how crypto-assets are utilised in online fraud and money laundering, as well as the cooperation with crypto-asset service providers.
Through this workshop, the WBCJ Project was able to promote among Western Balkan law enforcement and judicial authorities the EJCN Guides on Crypto-Currencies and the tools available for them on the platform developed by the SIRIUS Project.
