Challenges in Combatting Organized Crime
Organized crime is a digital, borderless business. It recruits globally, operates online, launders funds through cryptocurrency, and reinvests in legitimate markets. From trafficking victims into scam centers to running AI-driven fraud networks, these criminal enterprises thrive in the spaces where data moves faster than detection.
Collaboration, intelligence-sharing, and advanced digital investigation capabilities are critical to stopping the spread — and protecting communities worldwide.
