In a major development for\u00a0crypto-related law enforcement in Kenya, the country\u2019s leading East African economy, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations has\u00a0just completed\u00a0<\/a>its first-ever week-long training program. The program aims to equip<\/span>\u00a0investigative officers from across Africa with the technological literacy and skills needed to pursue crypto-related investigations on-chain.<\/p>\n

Bringing together some of the brightest minds in law enforcement from 10 countries took place at the National Crime Investigations Academy, and focused on on-chain forensics, illicit money-trail tracing, and hands-on instruction in planning operations to disrupt criminal money networks leveraging cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Abdalla Komesha, Director of the Investigations Bureau at the DCI, hailed the success of the inaugural program, claiming it had strengthened the region\u2019s ability to tackle increasingly sophisticated digital currency offences, alongside thanking EU partners for funding the initiative.<\/p>\n
