China has denied allegations that a sanctioned North Korean bank representative received and laundered millions of dollars in virtual currency within its borders, according to a new U.N. report.

The U.N. Panel of Experts said in its latest report that Sim Hyon Sop, a China-based representative of the sanctioned Korea Kwangson Banking Corporation (KKBC), allegedly received over $24 million worth of laundered digital assets, citing a member state. 

This sum included at least $12 million from North Korean overseas information technology workersunder Pyongyang’s Munitions Industry Department, some of whom were paid in virtual currency after securing jobs at U.S.
