This interesting seminar dealt with the complex issue concerning the legal aspects of virtual currencies in the national and international regulatory framework, with a special focus on the risks and protection requirements in the area of prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism, as well as the relevant Italian implementing provisions.
As a matter of fact, the digital market of “virtual currencies” or “cryptocurrencies” represents one of the major focal points for the prevention and control of the risk associated with the laundering of the proceeds of illegal and criminal activities.
