Argentina to Patrol Cyberspace in the Hunt for Crypto Criminals

A recent resolution issued by the Security Ministry of Argentina has added crypto crimes to the set of activities that will be tracked and surveilled by police forces. Resolution 1330/2024 states that the federal security forces will develop countermeasures to fight crimes of “unauthorized financial intermediation through the use of cryptoassets,” to prevent them from materializing. The Ministry argues that the constant advances in the cryptocurrency field have generated a space for cyber-assisted crime, affecting a large number of citizens and sparking a rise in pyramid schemes that promise unreal revenues in fiat or digital assets.
