The U.K. government has unveiled a new crime bill aimed at bolstering law enforcement’s ability to recover funds linked to cryptocurrency crimes, as announced by CoinDesk. The Home Office’s Crime and Policing Bill outlines procedures for valuing and potentially destroying crypto assets that cannot be sold. It also sets criteria for courts to reclaim seized funds and expands the Crown Court’s authority over confiscation orders. This bill seeks to enhance the criminal justice system’s ability to target individuals profiting from illicit activities. A supporting factsheet highlights its role in strengthening accountability efforts for criminals. This legislation follows the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act of 2023, which enhanced law enforcement’s ability to freeze and seize cryptocurrency assets more effectively.
