Shenaz Muzaffer, General Counsel of the International Association of Prosecutors, spoke at the 8th Global Conference on Criminal Finances and Cryptocurrencies in a panel on “practical challenges in the investigation and prosecution of crypto-related financial crimes.” The two-day conference was co-organised by Europol and the Basel Institute on Governance and hosted by UNODC.
