Disrupting Organized Criminal Groups and Illicit Financial Flows
The Pursue pillar focuses on strengthening the systems required to identify, investigate, prosecute and disrupt organized criminal groups and their financial networks. It recognizes that an effective response to organized crime requires more than enforcement against individual offenders; it must also target the structures, proceeds and financial flows that sustain criminal enterprises.
The pillar therefore engages with legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks, detection and investigation capabilities, intelligence systems, joint operations, specialized investigative tools, asset recovery and the disruption of illicit financial flows. It supports stronger institutional capacity to follow the money, dismantle criminal networks and deny organized crime the proceeds that enable its continued operation.
Key Areas:
- Legal, regulatory and institutional strengthening
- Intelligence-led detection and investigation
- Joint operations and specialized investigative tools
- Asset recovery
- Disruption of illicit financial flows
- Denial of criminal proceeds
