Les cryptomonnaies dans les affaires pénales : construction des accusations et vulnérabilités de la base probatoire
This report analyzes the use of cryptocurrency in criminal cases as an object of accusation, an alleged instrument of crime, a channel for money laundering, and a digital trail. It reveals key evidentiary vulnerabilities: the gap between traceability and attribution, issues of wallet control identification, dependence on exchange and provider data, lack of transparency in blockchain analytics methodology, and regulatory asymmetry between jurisdictions. A practical defense model is proposed, based on challenging the chain of evidentiary transformation and upholding fair trial standards.
