Binance Enhances Moldovan Law Enforcement's Digital Skills Through EU4Security Training

Binance Blog published a new article, highlighting its involvement in the EU4Security Project's training sessions in Moldova, aimed at enhancing the digital investigative skills of regional law enforcement. The training, conducted in March and May 2025, provided essential insights into blockchain analysis and crypto-related crime, crucial for bolstering the capabilities of Moldovan law enforcement officers. In March 2025, Binance participated in the Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) EU4Security training organized by the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) in Chișinău, Moldova. This initiative brought together 25 practitioners from various investigation units for a hands-on program designed to strengthen their digital capabilities. As the sole representative from the crypto industry, Binance's involvement underscored the growing recognition of blockchain analysis in modern financial investigations. A member of Binance’s Special Investigations Team led a session focused on the evolving landscape of crypto-related crime, providing participants with technical tools, real-world examples, and practical guidance. The training sessions are significant due to Moldova's role in the European digital ecosystem, where Binance's contributions help strengthen regional efforts against cybercrime and support cross-border collaboration. The EU4Security Moldova project, launched by the EU and CEPOL, aims to enhance the capacity of European law enforcement officials with practical tools and knowledge needed to better harness publicly available data in the fight against crime. Binance's participation in initiatives like EU4Security, alongside organizations such as Europol and CEPOL, demonstrates its commitment to cross-border collaboration, capacity development, and ecosystem safety. The Binance presentation in March 2025 provided a structured overview of how cryptocurrencies intersect with cybercrime, offering actionable insights for law enforcement. Key areas covered included the fraud and scam landscape, basic cryptocurrency concepts, tracing methodologies, real-world case studies, and how to request Binance support. Participants were introduced to core blockchain tracing techniques and learned how to follow the money in a decentralized environment. The presentation emphasized leveraging publicly available blockchain data to trace illicit funds and support financial intelligence efforts. In May 2025, a follow-up online training session was delivered by Jarek Jakubcek, Head of Binance’s Law Enforcement Training Program, and the Special Investigations team. This session focused on Binance’s updated guidelines for law enforcement cooperation, providing practical guidance on supporting criminal investigations and advanced cryptocurrency case studies on online extortion and ransomware investigations. The initiative attracted more than 20 Moldovan experts, including prosecutors, anti-corruption police, and financial intelligence officers, further boosting Moldovan crime fighters’ investigative capacity and strengthening public-private collaboration in the fight against crypto-enabled crime.
