FIA Kripto Para Suçlarını Soruşturacak Yeni Birim Kurdu

Özet · AI üretimi

Pakistan Federal Soruşturma Ajansı (FIA), Ulusal Komuta ve Kontrol Merkezi (NC3) bünyesinde kripto para soruşturma birimi oluşturdu. Birim, sanal para birimlerinin kara para aklama ve terör finansmanı gibi suçlarda kullanılmasını engellemeyi amaçlıyor. FIA Direktörü, siber suçlar ve uyuşturucu ticaretinde kripto para kullanımını önlemek için özel ekipler kurulması gerektiğini belirtti. Açıklamada son iki yılda 300’den fazla insan kaçakçılığı vakasının kaydedildiği vurgulanarak, sınıraşan organize suçlarla mücadelede kararlılık mesajı verildi. Bu adım, kripto paralar üzerindeki küresel düzenleyici baskının arttığı bir dönemde Pakistan’ın dijital finansal suçlarla mücadele kapasitesini güçlendirme niyetini yansıtıyor.

    FIA sets up cryptocurrency investigation unit

    • Will prevent use of virtual currency for money laundering, terror financing • Director calls for squads to curb crypto use in cybercrime, drug trade • Over 300 human trafficking cases registered in two years ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has established a cryptocurrency investigation unit housed in its newly operational National Com­m­and and Control Centre (NC3) to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing through virtual currency transactions. FIA Counter-Terrorism Wing Director Dr Muhammad Athar Waheed told Dawn that while the newly established Pakistan Virt­ual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) was the dedicated authority responsible for regulating digital assets, the cryptocurrency investigation unit would probe the possible use of digital assets in crimes. The official suggested that the National Cyber Crime Investi­gation Agency (NCCIA) and Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) should also establish similar units to tackle the use of cryptocurrency for cybercrimes and drug-related business. He said new rules were being framed to ensure time-bound completion of all inquiries. “With the introduction of several reform initiatives, the FIA has already demonstrated significant improvement in its performance, and we expect a number of additional key projects to be completed over the next six months,” he said. According to Dr Waheed, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi played a pivotal role in strengthening the FIA by providing the support needed to modernise the agency. Single platform for coordination Speaking about NC3, he said the centre provided a unified platform for monitoring, intelligence fusion, inter-agency coordination and nationwide operational support and brought key operational units on a single command platform. Its Immigration Monitoring Unit and Integrated Border Management System (IBMS) provide real-time oversight of traveller movements, biometric verification and screening at all ports of entry and exit. The Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling Desk coordinates intelligence-led operations against organised smuggling networks, while the Risk Analysis Unit identifies high-risk individuals, suspicious travel patterns and emerging threats. To strengthen investigations into financial crimes, NC3 houses dedicated anti-money laundering (AML) and virtual currency inves­tigation units. The Interpol Desk serves as Pakistan’s national coordination point for international law enforcement cooperation. Similarly, officials said the case management system (CMS) enables real-time monitoring of investigations and performance across the FIA formations nationwide. The centre also enhances public service delivery through a 24/7 helpline, a complaint management unit and overseas complaints cell, ensuring timely assistance to citizens and overseas Pakistanis. “Its intelligence capabilities are further reinforced by open source intelligence (OSINT), cellular detection, cyber patrolling and dark web investigation units, which support intelligence gathering, lawful technical analysis and the detection of cyber-enabled and transnational crimes,” an official said. A centralised daily situation report (DSR) and an operational support desk provide senior leadership with real-time situational awareness and nationwide operational coordination. Meanwhile, to protect FIA investigators, special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams have also been formed as raiding parties, while a large number of vehicles have been added to the FIA fleet. Officials said international collaboration was also being improved and a new post of the International Coordination director had been created. “Many new things are in the pipeline. Recruitment of around 1,300 officials is in progress while more recruitment will be made in the future,” an official said. For the welfare of FIA employees, rules of the Punjab police have also been adopted. Another official said that during the past two years, over 300 FIRs were registered against human trafficking, with 258 agents arrested and significant recoveries made. “We have busted many gangs involved in human trafficking; as a result, the incidents of boat tragedies are witnessing a decline,” the official claimed.

    FIA partners with Meta to expedite cybercrime investigation

    ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has established a direct, official communication channel with Meta Asia Pacific (APAC) to accelerate investigations into organised cybercrime, online fraud, and hate speech. Under the agreement, Meta formally recognised the FIA’s Single Point of Contact (SPOC) based at the National Command and Control Centre (NC3), allowing secure, lawful coordination for data requests concerning Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Previously, the federal agency had to route requests through Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs) or Interpol channels, a process that often took months. Officials say the new mechanism will cut response time to days. All lawful requests will now be processed exclusively through NC3. These include preservation requests, basic subscriber information, acc­ount registration details, login IP history, content removal requests, and emergency disclosure requests. As per the procedure, the Investigating Officer will compile the case with all requisite legal documents and relevant Meta account identifiers. After scrutiny and approval by the Circle In-charge, the request will be forwarded to the FIA’s official SPOC at NC3, who will submit it to Meta APAC through the established channel. “All requests will be routed through a single, designated channel to ensure accountability, audit trail and speed,” an FIA official said. FIA Director General Dr Usman Anwar said the channel would “significantly enhance our capacity to respond to time-sensitive cases involving terrorism and child exploitation”.

    FIA sets up dark web investigation unit to trace criminals hiding in shadowy realm

    ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has set up a dedicated dark web investigation unit to track and prosecute criminals operating in the shadowy realm, to effectively counter threats to the country’s interests emanating from encrypted online platforms, officials said on Saturday. Housed in the state-of-the-art National Command and Control Centre (NC3) at FIA headquarters, the unit will use modern technology to overcome obfuscation techniques employed by criminals to identify them, track dubious transactions usually carried out through cryptocurrency, and execute enforcement actions, FIA Director General Dr Usman Anwar told Dawn. He said the unit will focus on tracing criminal networks involved in creating illegal documents that facilitate human trafficking and illegal migrant smuggling and other similar subjects within the ambit of the FIA. The dark web refers to websites that are not indexed by search engi­nes, and are usually encry­pted, only accessible through specialised browsers. It can be an effective cloak for criminals because it leverages cutting-edge technologies to hide their identity. Criminals take advantage of its decentralisation and anonymity to indulge in numerous illegal activities, including hiring a hitman for assassination, trading drugs and weapons, selling stolen classified data and credentials, terrorism, piracy, malware, and hacking tools. There is no clear path for conducting investigations and enforcement action on businesses that operate on the dark web. These businesses are not only decentralised, but the criminal activities they facilitate tend to be transnational. The only way for authorities to respond is to fight technology with technology and forge greater international cooperation. DG Anwar said that working hand in hand with the cryptocurrency investigation unit under the same roof, the dark web investigation unit would use its blockchain forensic capability to connect pseudonymous addresses to real-world identities using open-source intelligence (Osint) as an additional tool for better investigative outcomes with documentary evidence. “We will leverage advanced tools and methodologies to meticulously investigate individuals on the dark web, cross-referencing aliases, usernames, and pseudonyms across marketplaces, forums and sites,” the FIA DG said. He added that the investigative process would help build detailed profiles of criminal actors, enabling authorities to bring them to justice. FIA’s NC3 Director Dr Athar Waheed explained that the internet was often described in three layers: the surface web, the deep web, and the dark web. These layers differ in visibility, accessibility and intended use. The surface web consists of publicly accessible websites indexed by standard search engines like Google. It includes news sites, blogs, online stores, and social media platforms. Anyone with a browser and internet connection can access these pages without special tools or permissions. The deep web refers to all web content that is not indexed by search engines. This includes databases, academic journals behind paywalls, webmail accounts, online banking, and intranet systems. Although not visible to search engines, these resources are typically legitimate and require credentials, subscriptions, or specific queries to access. The dark web is a subset of the deep web that is intentionally hidden and accessible only through specialised anonymity-preserving software, such as Tor (The Onion Router). The NC3 director explained that Tor was an open-source overlay network built on free and open-source software run by over 7,000 volunteer-operated relays worldwide, as well as by millions of users who route their internet traffic via random paths through these relays, enabling anonymous communication. Unlike the deep web, which primarily consists of private but conventional web content, the dark web includes hidden services that use encryption and obscure IP addresses to protect identities. Accessing it requires knowledge of its specific tools and protocols.
