A female police officer from Shandong, China, has uncovered the dark side of underground money laundering involving virtual currency, identifying 12 main criminal suspects and over 100 financial accounts

According to the Jinan Daily, Li Weiwei, a female police officer from the Economic Investigation Unit of the Dezhou Public Security Bureau in Shandong Province, China, optimized her investigative methods by tracking the flow of funds and analyzing account circulation patterns during the investigation of a telecom fraud case.

After detailed analysis, Li Weiwei discovered a new type of criminal model combining "traditional underground banks and virtual currency," which is more concealed and harder to trace. After several days of continuous effort, she ultimately identified 12 main criminal suspects, over 100 financial accounts, and 6 virtual currency wallet addresses. Together with the special investigation team, she created a clear organizational structure diagram and a flow chart of the funds, legally froze the assets involved, and successfully solved Dezhou's first underground bank case involving virtual currency.
