The National Crime Agency (NCA) of the UK is looking to hire four senior investigators to join its Complex Financial Crime Team and look into offenses involving digital assets. The job entails looking into organized criminal organizations’ use of blockchain technology for things like high-end crypto fraud and money laundering. The team will collaborate with the London police and a surveillance unit.
Collaborating with other investigators, intelligence team members, and analytical team members to solve complicated cases from raw data and evidence is a necessary part of this profession.
The role calls for a Level 2 certification in the government’s Professionalising Investigation Program or an equivalent qualification in investigating crime. Compensation starts at $44,145 (£34,672) and goes up to $48,782 (£38,314) plus additional government benefits.
Controlling Rising Crime Rate
The United Kingdom has been making efforts to establish a special crypto crime investigation unit. The NCA has shown a greater interest in crypto assets by establishing a digital assets unit on January 4. The rise in monetary losses due to crypto-related crimes in the United Kingdom in 2022 inspired the establishment of the unit. The United Kingdom’s cybercrime and fraud reporting system estimates that in 2022, crypto fraudsters have stolen at least $287M.
The NCA has often sought to bolster its crypto division with more personnel. On July 26th, the NCA advertised for financial investigations managers. From the standpoint of the Proceeds of Crime Act, which deals with the confiscation and redistribution of criminal proceeds, these investigators will manage inquiries into criminal activity involving cryptocurrencies and digital assets.
