The Swedish Minister of Justice has called for increased seizure of involved crypto assets, and lawmakers have suggested including Bitcoin reserves
Odaily News Swedish Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer called on the police, tax office and law enforcement agencies to step up the seizure of criminal proceeds, especially cryptocurrency assets. Confiscation legislation that came into effect last November allows law enforcement agencies to seize property without having to prove that someone has actually committed a crime. This means that if authorities suspect that anyone has illegally obtained cryptocurrency and that person cannot explain its source, the police and other agencies will have the right to seize these assets. Swedish Democratic Party MP Dennis Dioukarev supported the seizure and called for the confiscated BTC to be transferred to the Swedish Central Bank to establish a national strategic Bitcoin reserve.
