COVID-19 and lockdowns did not stop criminals from operating.
On the contrary, they adapted promptly. 2020 marked significant growth in cybercrime, money laundering, nuclear proliferation financing and terrorist financing.
Whatever the circumstances we face in 2021, the Cybercrime and Anti-Money Laundering Section will remain fully committed to our mission: providing global leadership in policy-making and capacity-building to combat cyber and financial crime.
In 2020:
We helped countries draft legislation and national strategies to improve asset recovery, fight cybercrime, disrupt money laundering and terrorist financing ;
We provided IT equipment and software solutions to maximize the capacities of national LEAs;
We trained 5000+ teachers in Central America on cybercrime prevention and helped identify victims of child sexual abuse.
We also trained, globally, thousands of judges and LEA practitioners to improve investigations and prosecutions of money laundering and cybercrimes;
Our Counter-Terrorist Financing programme helped to identify and detain a terrorist who was on the run and thus prevented future atrocities;
Our operational mentoring helped one South America country prosecute 20 organized criminals involved in environmental crime;
We helped States to solve live criminal cases involving bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies;
Our programmes also helped governments recover millions of dollars of criminal proceeds in Southern Africa and Central Asia.
Thanks for supporting us, for believing in us and for playing your part in making the world a safer, better place for all.
