If you're working for a police agency, you may be able to.  If you're working for the CIA or an equivalent national intelligence service, you probably can.  Bitcoin was designed with *pseudonymitiy* in mind, not *anonymity*, so you can freely track the flow of money through the network.  You generally need government-level investigative powers to track money as it enters or leaves the network.
