00:00networks, marking a new era in organized crime.
00:03Serious and organized crime is not only pervasive,
00:07it is also undergoing a fundamental transformation.
00:11Its own DNA is changing. First, crime is becoming more destabilizing.
00:19It corrodes the political, economic and social structures that hold
00:23our societies together. It generates illicit money
00:28that fuels violence and extends corruption.
00:31But organized crime is no longer just about
00:35making money. We observe a growing collaboration between criminal networks
00:41and actors orchestrating hybrid threats, exploiting geopolitical
00:48tensions and undermining our institutions.
00:51Crime is accelerated by AI and emerging technologies.
00:57Artificial intelligence, blockchain and quantum computing
01:01are creating new opportunities for criminals
01:05to operate with speed, precision and anonymity.
01:09So the investments in the resources and the
01:12legal framework are very important for the future for law enforcement
01:16to be able to continue. Also the fact that nowadays we are still
01:22working with different criminal courts in the whole of the European
01:26Union where the territory is very important to define who will
01:31manage the operation and who will manage the
01:34investigation. We will need to find new solutions in
01:38policing because the cyber world is a global world.
01:41The digital environment is globally organized.
01:44So we also have to have protocols there so that we are
01:49also for the future strong enough to tackle these
01:53global crime areas.
