Good to meet with National Crime Agency (NCA) Director General Graeme Biggar and Europol Exec Director Catherine De Bolle.

With the epidemic of transnational organized crime now a global security crisis, national, regional and international law enforcement cooperation is more important than ever.

I am extremely proud of the work of our Crimes Against Children unit, which has helped identify nearly 40,000 victims worldwide.

Photos and videos of child sexual abuse are not virtual.

They are evidence of a real crime involving real children and real suffering.

With Italy 🇮🇹 one of INTERPOL’s strongest supporters, a pleasure to welcome Polizia di Stato Prefect Raffaele Grassi, Deputy Director General of Public Security.

Our joint I-CAN project, targeting the ‘Ndrangheta, has become the model for tackling transnational organized crime.

The best way to ensure a fugitive faces justice is to request an INTERPOL #RedNotice .

This arrest is just one of the many striking results that have emerged from INTERPOL's EL PAcCTO 2.0 operations in recent years.

My congratulations to the law enforcement agencies involved.

My thanks to PSIA Sciences Po students for your questions and engagement in our interesting discussion.
In today’s complex security environment, outlining the effectiveness of multilateral cooperation with young academics and potential future thought-leaders is essential.

Delighted to catch up with #SciencesPoDean Arancha González.

Sharing experiences and knowledge from other sectors dealing with the same landscape is fundamental for INTERPOL.

This new law is an important achievement.

It not only sends a clear message to other countries looking to evolve their policing practices and benefit from increased information exchange, but more significantly it will also help get answers for families.

Great work 👏

A perfect example of how INTERPOL acts as a global early warning system against terrorist threats.

A powerful demonstration of international police cooperation against impunity.

Proud of the role INTERPOL's fugitives unit played in supporting Albania and South Korea in this case.

Congratulations to all involved Taulant Balla Policia e Shtetit 대한민국 경찰청

In 2023 INTERPOL’s Vienna Declaration sounded the alarm about the explosive growth in organized crime.
Since then, the situation has continued to deteriorate.
Immediate and unified action to address this threat is needed now, before it is too late.

Always good to meet up with FATF President T. Raja Kumar.

The strong cooperation between our organizations in tackling financial crime and the recovery of illicit assets is more vital than ever.

We are seeing an explosion of human trafficking-fuelled fraud.

What began as a regional crime threat in Southeast Asia has become a global human trafficking crisis, with millions of victims, both in the cyber scam centres and as targets.

In my interview with The Straits Times I highlight how driven by online anonymity, inspired by new business models and accelerated by COVID, organized crime groups are now working at a scale that was unimaginable a decade ago.

Concluding my mission to Manila, I expressed my appreciation to Lucas Bersamin, Executive Secretary of the Philippines, for his country's strong cooperation with INTERPOL.

Each day, this cooperation helps makes the Philippines, and the world, a safer place.

Great to meet with Benjamin Abalos Jr, Secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government 🇵🇭

The Philippines' strong use of INTERPOL databases consistently produces significant arrests and seizures.

This is how we fight back together against organized crime.

On my first official visit to the Philippines, I met with Ambassador Anthony J. Alcantara, Special Envoy for Transnational Crime, and other law enforcement leaders 🇵🇭

We discussed how INTERPOL can further support national efforts against drug trafficking and #cybercrime .

I strongly condemn the attack at the Crocus City Hall which was a terrible act against innocent civilians.
Our thoughts are with the victims, and their families and friends.
INTERPOL is ready to provide support to the investigation by Russian authorities.

This week, news broke that a South Korean fugitive wanted for a billion euro fraud scheme was arrested in France.

Behind the headlines: INTERPOL's fugitives unit, who connected investigators in both countries to locate the alleged fraudster in Cannes 👏

Combating #cybersecurity threats requires collaboration at all levels, not just between countries, but also with the private sector.

INTERPOL remains committed to providing a unique global platform for future cooperation.

Strong cooperation to address the security threat posed by transnational organized crime is essential.

Constructive discussions with Germany 🇩🇪 Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, @BMI_BundState Secretary Hans-Georg Engelke and Parliamentary State Secretary Rita Schwarzelühr today.
