Record Crypto Seizure in UK | Bristol News

Avon and Somerset Police just smashed a major crypto crime ring, seizing over a million pounds in Bitcoin, cash, and frozen digital assets — the biggest haul since new laws let them track crypto tied to illegal markets. The funds came from darknet sites shut down between 2016 and 2019, linked to human trafficking and drug trade. Even though the suspect is dead, courts ruled the crypto was criminal proceeds under the Proceeds of Crime Act. This case proves blockchain isn’t anonymous — it’s a trail police can follow. And every pound recovered goes back into communities through education, training, and crime prevention. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
