[Swedish Minister of Justice Urges Stronger Efforts to Seize Criminal Crypto Assets] Swedish Minister of Justice Gunnar Strommer has called on the police, tax authorities, and enforcement agencies to strengthen the confiscation of crime proceeds, including crypto assets. Under the strict confiscation law passed last year, authorities can seize suspicious assets even if specific criminal behavior cannot be proven. Approximately $8.4 million in assets have been seized so far. Some lawmakers have proposed using the confiscated Bitcoin to establish a national strategic reserve, following the example of the United States and other countries. Previous reports have indicated that a large number of criminals in Sweden use crypto assets for money laundering, and law enforcement agencies have suggested expanding enforcement actions on crypto platforms.
