作为打击加密货币犯罪的一部分，德国警方最近关闭了该国 47 个未经许可的加密货币交易所。此次行动涉及联邦刑事警察局（BKA）、中央打击网络犯罪办公室（ZIT）和法兰克福检察官办公室。

The regulators have accused the exchange operators of enabling money laundering on a massive scale due to non-adherence to AML policies. The crackdown focused on the exchanges that supported anonymous transactions, making it easier for criminals to launder the money.

监管机构指责交易所运营商由于不遵守反洗钱政策而导致大规模洗钱活动。打击行动的重点是支持匿名交易的交易所，这使得犯罪分子更容易洗钱。

The researchers also established that these platforms did not require registration and identification, facilitating the conversion of cryptocurrencies without supervision. As per the law enforcement agencies, these platforms acted as marketplaces for darknet dealers, botnet operators, and other cyber criminals cleaning dirty money.

研究人员还发现，这些平台不需要注册和身份验证，从而有助于在没有监督的情况下进行加密货币的转换。根据执法机构的说法，这些平台充当了暗网交易商、僵尸网络运营商和其他网络犯罪分子清洗脏钱的市场。

The confiscated servers contain many records, transactions, registrations, and IP addresses, among other things. The authorities have access to the customers’ information, but it may be difficult to prosecute the culprits.

被没收的服务器包含许多记录、交易、注册和 IP 地址等。当局可以获取客户的信息，但可能很难起诉罪犯。

The operators are reportedly based in countries with inadequate or no anti-money laundering laws, making prosecuting difficult.

据报道，这些运营商位于反洗钱法不完善或没有反洗钱法的国家，这使得起诉变得困难。

German police have confiscated servers belonging to 47 unlicensed crypto exchanges in the country, uncovering a massive network of illicit crypto activities. The operation, carried out in cooperation with the Central Office for Combating Internet Crime (ZIT) and the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s office, aimed to crack down on money laundering and other crypto crimes.

德国警方没收了该国 47 个未经许可的加密货币交易所的服务器，揭露了一个大规模的非法加密货币活动网络。该行动是与中央打击互联网犯罪办公室（ZIT）和法兰克福检察官办公室合作开展的，旨在打击洗钱和其他加密货币犯罪。

The authorities have accused the exchange operators of enabling large-scale money laundering operations by failing to adhere to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies. In particular, the crackdown focused on the exchanges that facilitated anonymous transactions, making it easier for criminals to launder their money.

当局指责交易所运营商因不遵守反洗钱（AML）政策而助长了大规模洗钱活动。特别是，打击行动集中在促进匿名交易的交易所，使犯罪分子更容易洗钱。

Moreover, the researchers discovered that these platforms did not require registration or identification, allowing for the conversion of cryptocurrencies without any supervision. According to the law enforcement agencies, these platforms served as marketplaces for darknet dealers, botnet operators, and other cyber criminals attempting to clean their dirty money.

此外，研究人员发现这些平台不需要注册或身份验证，允许在没有任何监督的情况下进行加密货币的转换。据执法机构称，这些平台成为暗网交易商、僵尸网络运营商和其他试图洗白脏钱的网络犯罪分子的市场。

The confiscated servers contain a wealth of information, including records, transactions, registrations, and IP addresses. While the authorities can now access the customers’ information, they may face challenges in prosecuting the culprits.

被没收的服务器包含大量信息，包括记录、交易、注册和 IP 地址。虽然当局现在可以访问客户的信息，但他们在起诉罪犯方面可能面临挑战。

The operators of these unlicensed crypto exchanges are reportedly based in countries that lack adequate anti-money laundering laws or do not prioritize the prosecution of cybercriminals. This makes it difficult for German law enforcement to pursue legal action against the individuals involved in these illicit activities.

据报道，这些未经许可的加密货币交易所的运营商位于缺乏足够反洗钱法或不优先起诉网络犯罪分子的国家。这使得德国执法部门很难对参与这些非法活动的个人采取法律行动。

As a result, the law enforcement agencies are shifting their focus to dismantling the technological infrastructure that supports these crypto crimes. According to the police, targeting the infrastructure is more feasible than going after the activists themselves.

因此，执法机构正在将重点转向拆除支持这些加密货币犯罪的技术基础设施。警方表示，针对基础设施比追捕活动人士本身更可行。

In particular, they aim to restrict cybercriminals' access to servers used to launder their money, aligning with Germany's ongoing efforts to combat the criminal use of cryptocurrencies.

特别是，他们的目标是限制网络犯罪分子访问用于洗钱的服务器，这与德国打击加密货币犯罪活动的持续努力相一致。

In previous operations, German law enforcement has demonstrated the effectiveness of its approach to criminal structures, such as the confiscation and auctioning of Bitcoin from the now-defunct Movie2k.

在之前的行动中，德国执法部门已经证明了其打击犯罪结构方法的有效性，例如没收和拍卖现已解散的 Movie2k 中的比特币。

The authorities have also utilized social media to shut down websites and disrupt criminal groups. However, such actions can have ripple effects in the market, as large sales may lead to price changes in the cryptocurrency market.

当局还利用社交媒体关闭网站并瓦解犯罪集团。然而，此类行为可能会对市场产生连锁反应，因为大量销售可能会导致加密货币市场的价格变化。
