The UK National Crime Agency (NCA) is seeking investigators for a newly formed digital assets team within the Complex Financial Crimes Team (CFCT) to address crypto crimes.
Aiming to eradicate dirty money in the country, NCA has released a researcher post for its digital assets team at the CFCT. The job includes overseeing complex investigations involving cryptocurrency and digital assets from the perspective of the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA). POCA, on the other hand, is about confiscating crime money and diverting it to the benefit of society.

The ideal candidate would be a current member of the police staff who is a certified, accredited financial investigator (AFI). Additionally, experience in blockchain analysis, criminal investigation and understanding of legislation is desired, among other requirements. It also pays a salary of around £47,380 ($61,076.37), in addition to other civil service assistance programs.
NCA’s move advances the government’s goal of eliminating “dirty money” in the country and aims to increase regulatory focus on crypto assets in the UK. “This is a really exciting opportunity that includes working on a team that is at the forefront of protecting the UK from cybercrime,” said Chris Lewis-Evans, NCA director of infrastructure research.
