Big move against IWT

RisikoTek was happy to attend the reading of Singapore Government's ESA Bill put forth by Senior Minister of State for National Development (MND) Tan Kiat. RisikoTek is serious about protecting biodiversity and in order to strengthen enforcement and increase penalties in cases of illegal wildlife trade (IWT) law reforms like the ESA are necessary. 

As experts in investigation, we further encourage all governments to acknowledge that IWT is an organised criminal activity. This allows law enforcement maximum powers to save our planet's biodiversity from further losses. In support of that - RisikoTek has provided research which shows how organized crime uses IWT for profits and additionally corrupts our financial and legal institutions. That research forms the base for further amendments presented to Parliament.  It is our hope that the MND will accept those amendments and therefore further strengthen enforcement as well alignment with FATF international standards regarding definitions of organized criminal activities.
