Tomorrow, I will be giving some opening remarks at the panel “Rising organized criminality in the Pacific islands – What drives it?” where we will discuss how the criminal landscape in the Pacific is changing rapidly. As the growing presence of foreign criminal and private sector actors drives the emergence of new criminal markets and deepens existing ones, how can local authorities tackle the situation? Panelists Laura Adal, Peter Aitsi MBE, Virginia Comolli, and Dr Tamasailau (Sailau) Suaalii-Sauni, will lead the conversation.

Excited to announce the launch of our United States Institute of Peace Senior Study Group Report on 'Transnational Crime in Southeast Asia.' Check out the full report at the link below and join me, Jason G Tower and Erin West for the hybrid launch event today at 1pm EST (a recording will also be available). The power, reach, and influence of the criminal networks we investigate are profoundly re-shaping the region and now directly threaten human security globally. Accordingly, a coordinated global response is urgently needed. In this report, we offer some new findings, targeted analysis, and actionable recommendations that I hope will help catalyze such a response. https://lnkd.in/g7-KNFMJ

Operation Black Tie has unveiled the shocking overlap between Bosnia and Herzegovina's 🇧🇦 upperworld and underworld. Following the decryption of the Sky ECC app, authorities have exposed the operations of the Tito and Dino cartel, led by Edin Gačanin, who is dubbed the 'European Escobar.' This operation highlighted the cartel's extensive reach into business, politics, and the security sector, revealing how organized crime has infiltrated and influenced state institutions. The findings emphasize the urgent need for stronger anti-corruption measures, better monitoring of political funding, and increased vigilance within public institutions to combat the harmful influence of organized crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
