24/8/2022

On July 11th and 12th, the kick-off meeting of ATTENTION! took place. ATTENTION! will develop and apply artificial intelligence models based on multiple global data sources, including trade, corporate and web data, to identify and detect illicit trade activities and their patterns in global, heterogeneous data.
On the first day of the kickoff meeting, all members of the project consortium – consisting of RisikoTek, L3S, Hase & Igel, Schaeffler and the University of Bonn – met in person for the first time and used the opportunity to concretely plan the first steps in the new project. On the following day, the project plans were presented to Christoph Pflock from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and Dennis Lee from Enterprise Singapore, among others, and discussed in the subsequent debate.
The ATTENTION! project consortium is looking forward to the future cooperation and is eager to see the first results soon!

Big move against IWT

10/8/2022

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.

How can financial crime investigators help with sustainability? By investigating crimes against the environment! As experts in financial crime investigation – we use our experience and resources to help organisations fight IWT syndicates.
