As usual a very insightful report from Europol focus on criminal networks in the EU and the threats they pose to the EU. « This report delves into the inner workings of the criminal networks that pose the highest threat to the EU’s security. The report, which features a Europe-wide analysis from the perspective of law enforcement, is a first of its kind. It describes, in detail, how the most threatening criminal networks are organised, which criminal activities they engage in, and how and where they operate. The report also assesses which specific characteristics the criminal networks hold that increase the threat to the EU’s internal security. All EU Member States and 17 of Europol’s partner countries contributed data to identify the most threatening criminal networks in Europe. This resulted in a unique dataset of 821 most threatening criminal networks, with extensive information on all aspects that describe them and help assess their threat. This mapping report is one of the key deliverables of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union, which strongly encouraged the efforts of Europol in this respect. It will be an essential tool to fight organised crime going forward, which is a top EU priority, as outlined in the recent roadmap presented by the European Commission. » https://lnkd.in/eSsmBtzd

What is the difference between FBI and CIA? Introduction When it comes to law enforcement and intelligence agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are two of the most prominent organizations. While they both operate within the realm of national security, their functions, responsibilities, and methods differ significantly. History of FBI The FBI traces its origins back to 1908 when it was founded as the Bureau of Investigation. Initially focused on enforcing antitrust laws, it later expanded its jurisdiction to include investigating federal crimes. History of CIA The CIA, on the other hand, was established in 1947 under the National Security Act. It was created primarily to gather intelligence overseas and conduct covert operations to protect US national interests. Mission and Responsibilities FBI The FBI's mission is to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States. It investigates a wide range of federal crimes, including terrorism, cybercrime, organized crime, and white-collar crime. CIA The CIA's mission is to collect and analyze foreign intelligence to assist policymakers in making informed decisions regarding national security.

🔟 #10Years10Threats recap 🔟 🔔 Introducing the #10Years10Threats series, Cathy Haenlein and Jonathan Evans outlined the overarching evolution of the serious and #organisedcrime threats to the UK in their piece ‘A Boundless Threat? The Rise of Organised Crime in the UK’. 🌍 Alongside a rise in the threat to the UK from organised crime, the article explores the link with #statethreats, in a global environment characterised by rising #authoritarianism and competition. 🔎 The article outlines how a focus on the linkage between crime and hostile-state activity has intensified as systemic competition has accelerated and international tensions have deepened. 🔧 Such #convergence challenges the UK’s conventional toolkit and traditional organisation of resources around responses to separate transnational challenges, with a less siloed, threat-agnostic and better-coordinated institutional approach needed. https://lnkd.in/eRpfqdiK

MAGIC 🎩is as much auditory as visual. Sometimes. The auditory illusion further enhances the visual illusion. FRAUD 🚨 also relies at times on the auditory illusion combined with visual illusion to “sell” legitimately of a claim. 🕵🏻♀️Both magic and fraud use the same elements to accomplish their goals. Deceit, misrepresentation, misdirection, false impressions, concealment. 📚 Criminals engaged in fraud will leverage as much illusion as possible to commit their crimes. Be vigilant to what is represented. This very simple magic effect has both auditory and visual components concurrent. If you had to investigate this as Fraud, what happened to accomplish this? ☑️Feel free to comment below as an investigative excercise. #fraud #magic #uniqueexperience #insurancefraudawareness #coalition #neiaati #illusions #similar #alternativeeducation #autofraud #cash #investigations #siu #police #antifraudeducation Volume📳 UP

🇨🇳 China’s crime prevention ideals vs. the realpolitik on the ground—what does this gap mean for global crime prevention? As China's influence in reshaping global governance grows, the disconnect between its stated crime prevention ideals and the realities of its actions on the ground becomes increasingly significant. Our latest report explores this disparity and also introduces the concept of "geocriminality" to describe how state interests might intersect with criminal networks. This evolving dynamic raises critical questions about the future of global crime prevention and the potential implications for international security norms. How will these changes impact the global landscape? 🔍 Dive into our report: https://buff.ly/3R37QcL

What do successful companies and the most threatening crime groups in Europe have in common? Agility, strong leadership, and succession planning skills. That's the finding from the first Europol assessment of 821 crime groups that pose the highest risk to the EU's internal security, which was published this morning. “The most threatening criminal networks exhibit remarkable agility,” according to Decoding the EU’s Most Threatening Criminal Networks. “They are able to inventively make use of opportunities in the legal world, such as by using or setting up legal business structures to facilitate or conceal their criminal activity, and to launder their money.” I put together a quick review for Security Management (ASIS International) on the top findings from the report.
