Cryptocurrencies are increasingly being used by Mexican and Colombian cartels to launder millions of dollars from drug trafficking and other criminal activities, the UN International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) warned Thursday.
"It is believed that, in Mexico alone, Mexican cartels launder some $25 billion a year," the INCB notes, stressing that the Sinaloa and Jalisco Nueva Generación cartels, the most powerful in the country, are the ones that make the most use of virtual currencies.
