🇪🇸 Senior police officials are gathering in Toledo this week for INTERPOL’s 53rd European Regional Conference.
Over two days, delegates will examine how criminal networks are exploiting security gaps in the real and virtual words. This includes the increased use of crime-as-a-service and scam centres, facilitating fraud and financial crime on an unprecedented scale.
The high-level event was opened by:
🔵 Valdecy Urquiza, @interpol_sg
🔵 Lucas Philippe, INTERPOL President
🔵 Aina Calvo Sastre, Spain’s Secretary of State for Security

🇪🇸 Altos cargos de la policía se reúnen esta semana en Toledo para la 53A Conferencia Regional Europea de INTERPOL.
Durante dos días, los delegados examinarán cómo las redes criminales están explotando brechas de seguridad en el mundo real y virtual. Esto incluye el creciente uso del “crimen como servicio” y de centros de estafa, que facilitan el fraude y los delitos financieros a una escala sin precedentes.
El acto de alto nivel fue inaugurado por:
🔵 Valdecy Urquiza, Secretario general de INTERPOL
🔵 Lucas Philippe, Presidente de INTERPOL
🔵 Aina Calvo Sastre, Secretaria de Estado de Seguridad de España
A warm welcome to Jordan as the newest member of the INTERPOL Global Academy Network.
The agreement signed by between Director of Public Security Major General Dr Abeidallah A Maaitah and INTERPOL Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza, with INTERPOL President Lucas Philippe in attendance, makes Jordan the 27th member – and fourth from the Middle East and North Africa region.
Bringing its experience and expertise in counter-terrorism, combating drug and weapons trafficking, as well as border security, Jordan’s membership will significantly contribute to this law enforcement learning platform.
Organized crime generates billions in illicit profits, yet 99 per cent of criminal assets remain unrecovered.
INTERPOL’s Silver Notice is changing this – with over USD 40 million in assets traced or identified in less than 18 months.
🇧🇷 The meeting between Andrei Augusto Passos Rodrigues, Director-General of the Brazilian Federal Police, and INTERPOL Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza identified additional areas to build on the successes achieved so far.
Effectively tackling organized crime means targeting their financial foundations.

O crime organizado gera bilhões em lucros ilícitos, mas 99% dos bens criminosos permanecem irrecuperáveis.
O Alerta Prata da INTERPOL está mudando essa realidade – com mais de US$ 40 milhões em ativos rastreados ou identificados em menos de 18 meses.
🇧🇷 O encontro entre Andrei Augusto Passos Rodrigues, Diretor-Geral da Polícia Federal brasileira, e Valdecy Urquiza, Secretário-Geral da INTERPOL, identificou áreas adicionais para ampliar os sucessos alcançados até o momento.
Combater o crime organizado de forma eficaz significa atacar suas bases financeiras.
🇮🇹 With Italy at the forefront of the global fight against transnational crime, Minister of Interior Matteo Piantedosi’s visit to @INTERPOL_HQ was an opportunity to discuss further avenues for cooperation.
Italy has been the driving force behind two key INTERPOL initiatives; I-CAN, disrupting the ’Ndrangheta - one of the most extensive and powerful criminal organizations in the world - and the Silver Notice, targeting assets linked to criminal activities.
Discussions with the delegation, which included Prefect Raffaele Grassi, Deputy Director General of Public Security, was also an opportunity to hear about Italy’s current security priorities and operational goals.
The visit underscores the productive and ongoing collaboration between Italy and INTERPOL in enhancing global safety.
——————
Con l’Italia in prima linea nella lotta globale contro la criminalità transnazionale, la visita del Ministro dell’Interno Matteo Piantedosi al quartier generale dell’INTERPOL è stata un’occasione per discutere ulteriori modalità di cooperazione.
L’Italia è stata la forza trainante di due iniziative chiave dell’INTERPOL: I-CAN, volta a smantellare la ‘Ndrangheta, una delle organizzazioni criminali più estese e potenti al mondo, e la Silver Notice, che mira a individuare e neutralizzare i beni legati ad attività criminali.
L’incontro con la delegazione, che comprendeva il Prefetto Raffaele Grassi, Vice Direttore Generale della Pubblica Sicurezza, ha offerto anche l’opportunità di approfondire le attuali priorità di sicurezza e gli obiettivi operativi dell’Italia. La visita sottolinea la proficua e continua collaborazione tra l’Italia e l’INTERPOL per il rafforzamento della sicurezza globale.

I had the pleasure of visiting Türkiye this week to strengthen our international police cooperation efforts.
I was pleased to meet with the new head of the Turkish National Police, Director General of Security Ali Fidan and Deputy Minister of Interior Ali Çelik to discuss our joint commitment to combating transnational organized crime networks.
The opportunity to visit the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Ankara and speak with the officers working there was also a highlight. NCBs are the critical links between police across our member countries.
Türkiye ranks among our top countries for contributing law enforcement data – providing a strong foundation for identifying links that would otherwise remain undetected across borders.
A powerful example of this was through our Identify Me campaign, when a Russian citizen who died in Spain in 2005 was successfully identified 20 years later through a fingerprint match with a national database in Türkiye.
Together, we continue to build the connections that keep communities safe worldwide.
My sincere thanks to Executive Committee Delegate for Europe Mustafa Serkan Sabanca, and all my Turkish hosts, for the warm welcome and constructive discussions.

A productive visit from Vice President and Minister of Interior of the Republic of Serbia, Ivica Dačić to INTERPOL headquarters.
Our discussions focused on how INTERPOL can better support Serbia in addressing its most pressing transnational organized crime threats, particularly in combating drug trafficking.
It was also an opportunity to brief the Vice President and his delegation on key INTERPOL operations and activities as well as explore areas where we can strengthen our joint response to evolving criminal threats.

My thanks to Ireland’s Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Jim O’Callaghan and An Garda Síochána Commissioner Justin Kelly, for the warm welcome and productive discussions in Dublin.
It was Ireland who provided the first Director of INTERPOL’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre when it launched – and continues to send highly experienced and professional police officers to work in a range of crime areas at our General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon.
Our meeting was an opportunity for me to underline INTERPOL’s continued commitment for enhanced engagement with Ireland on combating transnational organized crime. It was also a real pleasure to meet with colleagues working at INTERPOL’s National Central Bureau in Dublin and learn more about their daily activities.
During my mission to Ireland, I was also honoured to address the European Anti-Financial Crime Summit, at a time when the fight against financial crime has never been more urgent.
What’s striking is how these crimes have evolved - investment fraud, business email compromise and scam centres are now sophisticated, cross-border operations that exploit AI, identity theft and vulnerable populations, including refugees.
Our response must be equally global and coordinated.
Through initiatives like I-GRIP, since 2024 INTERPOL has supported member countries in more than 1,500 transnational fraud cases in lost assets valued at USD 1.1 billion.
And through our Silver Notice pilot we are now helping law enforcement target criminal assets and profits rather than just suspects.
But law enforcement cannot win this alone. The private sector sits at the centre of this threat, and practical cooperation is what makes recovery possible.
The tools exist. The partnerships are forming. What matters now is sustaining the momentum.

National Central Bureaus are at the heart of INTERPOL and how we work. This week reinforced our commitment to each other and to global security.
The 21st Heads of National Central Bureaus conference closed with a series of conclusions on:
🔵 maintaining operational excellence
🔵 faster cross-border coordination
🔵 better support for missing persons
🔵 encouraging women’s leadership
Dedicated to maintaining a tighter, faster and more efficient network.

This week’s INTERPOL Heads of National Central Bureaus Conference showed the power of global policing united by a shared purpose.
Law enforcement leaders came together not just to talk, but to collaborate - sharing experiences, insights and the lessons learned.
Year after year we see the results. Real operations. Real arrests. Real lives protected.
The relationships built here will continue to shape how we cooperate and respond to evolving threats.
In a fast-changing world, this unity is our greatest strength.

For me INTERPOL’s Heads of National Central Bureaus conference is the most meaningful of the year.
This week, our discussions will focus on some of the most pressing threats we face - global scam centres, the convergence of organized crime, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in enabling criminal activity.
While these threats evolve in different ways, they all exploit the same thing: gaps. And in a global system, no gap is isolated. A vulnerability in one place affects us all.
My call to action from this week is for delegates to take these three simple actions: connect, explore and contribute.
We are living in a fragmented world. Geopolitical tensions. A multilateral system under pressure. Moments when dialogue at the highest levels breaks down.
And yet, NCBs keep talking.
Not because it is easy - but because it is necessary.
And INTERPOL stands by their side.
