What did the official say? According to the Prosecutor General, the agency also advocates the introduction of the concept of “cryptocurrency” into the criminal law space.
“Even though judicial practice in criminal cases follows towards recognizing cryptocurrencies as property, that is, the subject of a bribe, it still cannot be recognized as a sufficient circumstance to form a unified and sustainable law enforcement,” Krasnov stressed.
What had happened before? In November, the Prosecutor General's Office drafted a bill to recognize cryptocurrencies and other digital assets as property for proceedings under the Criminal Code.
