IRS Highlighting the Work of its Criminal Investigation (CI) Unit

The IRS is highlighting the work of its Criminal Investigation (CI) unit. Two fact sheets detail the CI’s work on financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorist financing, cybercrime and sanctions evasion, which includes investigating and seizing assets of wealthy Russians. As described by the IRS, CI is the only U.S. law enforcement body authorized to investigate federal criminal tax violations. Among other stats from the fact sheets, the CI’s cybercrimes program seized more than $3.5 billion of illicit cryptocurrency in 2021 and has already seized more than that amount so far this year.
