香港海关和消费税部门正在与香港大学合作开发一种数字工具来跟踪加密货币交易

周四，助理专员马里奥·旺·霍恩（Mario Wong Ho-Yin）表示，海关官员将扩大与学者，区域金融专业人士和执法部门的合作，以抵消日益复杂和无边界的金融犯罪。

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.

据《南中国晨报》报道，香港海关和消费税部门正在与香港大学合作，开发一种数字工具，用于跟踪可疑洗钱计划中的加密货币交易。

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.

周四，助理专员马里奥·旺·霍恩（Mario Wong Ho-Yin）表示，海关官员将扩大与学者，区域金融专业人士和执法部门的合作，以抵消日益复杂和无边界的金融犯罪。

“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在媒体简报中说：“这些洗钱威胁的特征是跨国和无边界的性质，没有一个机构能够仅解决这个问题。”

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

该报告补充说，该官员拒绝详细说明该工具的操作，理由是该部门工作的机密性质。

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月之间，香港海关记录了39例主要洗钱案件，其中7例涉及加密货币。大多数是基于贸易的洗钱业务，将非法资金掩盖为常规交易。

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.

一项案件涉及1,000多个可疑交易，价值18亿香港美元（约合2.29亿美元），涉及五家公司和18家当地银行帐户。三人被捕，其中两人被指控通过加密货币平台转移了7.6亿香港美元。

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.

该系和大学还本周举办了为期三天的研讨会，参与了八个政府的执法人员和领事馆的工作人员，包括中国，印度，伊朗，新西兰，泰国和新加坡，以促进跨境合作，以打击新的数字金融犯罪。
