香港海關和消費稅部門正在與香港大學合作開發一種數字工具來跟踪加密貨幣交易

週四，助理專員馬里奧·旺·霍恩（Mario Wong Ho-Yin）表示，海關官員將擴大與學者，區域金融專業人士和執法部門的合作，以抵消日益複雜和無邊界的金融犯罪。

Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department is partnering with the University of Hong Kong to develop a digital tool for tracking cryptocurrency transactions in suspected money laundering schemes, reports the South China Morning Post.

據《南中國晨報》報導，香港海關和消費稅部門正在與香港大學合作，開發一種數字工具，用於跟踪可疑洗錢計劃中的加密貨幣交易。

On Thursday, Assistant Commissioner Mario Wong Ho-yin said customs officials would be expanding collaboration with academics, regional finance professionals and law enforcement to counteract increasingly complex and borderless financial crimes.

週四，助理專員馬里奧·旺·霍恩（Mario Wong Ho-Yin）表示，海關官員將擴大與學者，區域金融專業人士和執法部門的合作，以抵消日益複雜和無邊界的金融犯罪。

“These money laundering threats are characterized by a transnational and borderless nature, and no single agency can tackle this problem alone,” Wong said during a media briefing, according to the report.

Wong在媒體簡報中說：“這些洗錢威脅的特徵是跨國和無邊界的性質，沒有一個機構能夠僅解決這個問題。”

The report adds that the official declined to elaborate on the tool’s operation, citing the confidential nature of the department’s work.

該報告補充說，該官員拒絕詳細說明該工具的操作，理由是該部門工作的機密性質。

Between 2021 and May 2025, Hong Kong customs recorded 39 major money laundering cases, seven of which involved cryptocurrencies. Most were trade-based laundering operations disguising illicit funds as routine transactions.

在2021年至2025年5月之間，香港海關記錄了39例主要洗錢案件，其中7例涉及加密貨幣。大多數是基於貿易的洗錢業務，將非法資金掩蓋為常規交易。

One case involved more than 1,000 suspicious transactions valued at 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars (around $229 million), engaging five companies and 18 local bank accounts. Three individuals were arrested, two of whom were accused of transferring 760 million Hong Kong dollars through a crypto platform.

一項案件涉及1,000多個可疑交易，價值18億香港美元（約合2.29億美元），涉及五家公司和18家當地銀行帳戶。三人被捕，其中兩人被指控通過加密貨幣平台轉移了7.6億香港美元。

The department and university also hosted a three-day workshop this week, engaging law enforcement and consulate staff from eight governments—including China, India, Iran, New Zealand, Thailand and Singapore—to boost cross-border cooperation in combating new digital financial crimes.

該系和大學還本週舉辦了為期三天的研討會，參與了八個政府的執法人員和領事館的工作人員，包括中國，印度，伊朗，新西蘭，泰國和新加坡，以促進跨境合作，以打擊新的數字金融犯罪。

Crypto exec charged with laundering $530 million

加密執行官被控洗錢5.3億美元

Iurii Gugnin, founder of crypto payments platform Evita Pay, was recently arrested in New York and indicted on 22 federal charges for allegedly laundering over $530 million into the U.S. from sanctioned Russian institutions, reports the New York Times.

《紐約時報》報導，加密支付平台Evita Pay的創始人Iurii Gugnin最近在紐約被捕，並因涉嫌從批准的俄羅斯機構向美國洗錢超過5.3億美元而被起訴22項聯邦指控。

The report adds that Gugnin allegedly used stablecoin transactions to help Russian clients, who were tied to blacklisted entities like Sberbank and VTB, gain access to restricted American technologies.

該報告補充說，據稱Gugnin使用Stablecoin交易來幫助俄羅斯客戶，這些客戶與Sberbank和VTB等黑名單實體聯繫在一起，可以訪問受限制的美國技術。

According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the scheme unfolded from June 2023 to January 2025, with Gugnin accused of offenses including wire fraud, money laundering and operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business.

根據美國司法部（DOJ）的說法，該計劃於2023年6月至2025年1月展開，Gugnin被指控犯有電匯欺詐，洗錢和經營無牌貨幣傳遞業務的罪行。

Upon conviction, Gugnin could face a potential sentence of life imprisonment.

有信念，Gugnin可能會面臨無期徒刑的潛在判決。
