A senior official in the U.S. Justice Department has called for international law enforcement agencies to take steps to prevent cryptocurrencies from being used to commit crimes.
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told a meeting of Interpol, the International law enforcement agency, that countries should ensure that anti-money-laundering laws are applied to cryptocurrency, according to an article on Coindesk.
“We must not allow cybercriminals to hide behind cryptocurrencies,” Coindesk quoted Rosenstein as saying.
