The classes available on the government platform of the National School of Public Administration (Enap) allow any citizen to access the free educational material during the enrollment process.

Tracking bitcoin and concepts of blockchain technology

The creators of the training divided the learning into four thematic modules with practical training objectives. The first block of studies addresses the primary concepts of currencies and the exact functions of blockchain technology.

Enrolled students discover the steps of financial transactions executed within a decentralized network without central control. Such theoretical knowledge serves as a structural foundation for the operational phases covered in the remainder of the training planned by the federal government.

The second module of the curriculum delves into the legal aspects and regulatory norms of the sector spread across the world. Experts from the Public Ministry and courts detail the legal landscape in Brazil in parallel with the rules imposed abroad.

Investigation techniques and alienation of crypto assets conclude the course

The third part of the course teaches practical tactics for identifying the use of cryptocurrencies in fraud and currency evasion. Criminal investigators learn to follow the money trail in wallets hosted by suspects under police monitoring.

The penultimate stage of the program focuses on the operational procedures of the country's financial repression and control forces. Field officers receive precise instructions on the legal maneuvers for searching and seizing balances held in digital format.

This fourth and final module guides public authorities on the management of all assets confiscated during field operations. The final roadmap explains the procedural phases necessary for the judicial alienation of the amount under the institutional custody of government agents.
