B | New Delhi, Oct 17 (UNI) The most significant trends is the increasing influence of organised crime groups both in the physical world with associated increased violence, and the virtual world with cybercrime causing a massive economic and social impact on governments, businesses and individuals worldwide, said Jurgen Stock, Secretary General, Interpol.

Stock, at a Press Conference held at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi on Monday, said organised crime networks are making billions of dollars, and the fact that less than one percent of global illicit financial flows are intercepted and recovered – or rather, nearly 99 per cent of stolen assets remain in criminal hands - should be of greater concern to everyone".

Combined with estimates of the global cost of cybercrime which is expected to reach 10.5 trillion US dollars by 2025, brings investigative agencies to the basics of policing, it added.

“Over the coming days, we will be addressing a range of global security issues and how these can be addressed through the unique platform which is INTERPOL,” said Stock.

INTERPOL has developed its global stop-payment mechanism, the Anti-Money Laundering Rapid Response Protocol, which in the past 10 months alone has helped member countries recover more than 60 million dollars in criminal proceeds from cyber enabled fraud, he said.

Global Crime Trend Report highlighted the massive increase in online child sexual exploitation and abuse, figures which are only set to increase, he added.

The cybercrime and online child abuse are significantly under reported, often because victims are ashamed or in cases of fraud, embarrassed, which means that the figures we see are just the tip of the iceberg, Stock said.

Police around the world are overwhelmed with data, and too often they do not have the capacity to deal with the volume of cases – and here INTERPOL is uniquely placed to provide the support they need.

Today, with the click of a button, police anywhere in the world can instantly check against INTERPOL’s 19 global databases containing 126 million records including DNA profiles and facial recognition images. Databases are checked more than 20 million times each day – which equates to around 250 searches per second, the statement stated.

International Child Sexual Exploitation database helps investigators around the world identify an average of seven child abuse victims – every single day.

INTERPOL is uniquely positioned to help countries address these crime threats, as well as locate and arrest the criminals behind them, notably through Red Notices.

A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, and INTERPOL cannot force any member country to arrest an individual who is the subject of a Red Notice.

It is not for INTERPOL to judge the merit of a case or a decision taken by national courts – that is a sovereign matter.

The 90th General Assembly of INTERPOL will be held from October 18 to 21. The meeting will be attended by delegations from 195 INTERPOL member countries comprising Ministers, Police Chiefs of countries, Heads of National Central Bureaus and Senior police officers. The General Assembly is INTERPOL’s supreme governing body and meets once a year to take key decisions related to its functioning.

UNI CM SY SHK1936。郭正亮指韩看清对手真面目，称以后国民党内部就要好好讨论，面对这样的对手要怎么处理，并要勇于把不同意见拿出来讨论。台当局行政机构日前宣布不副署台民意机构“三读”通过的“台湾儿少成长及未来账户条例”“有线广播电视法”部分条文修正案，使台民意机构负责人韩国瑜昨18日晚间说重话，“执政权”再大都大不过台湾地区现行宪制性规定。但台行政机构负责人卓荣泰却反呛韩，忘了读好台湾地区现行宪制性规定跟“预算法”。对此，前民代郭正亮直言，韩国瑜现在知道面对的是什么集团。他并建议，以后国民党内部就要好好讨论，面对这样的对手要怎么处理，并要勇于把不同意见拿出来讨论。韩国瑜上周主导加速台当局今年度总预算审查，部分蓝营支持者抨击韩对台行政机构退让，且总预算通过后，卓荣泰却宣布不附署台民意机构“三读”通过的“台湾儿少成长及未来账户条例”。韩国瑜18日晚间于脸书发文痛批，台行政机构则回击，称卓荣泰正是依台湾地区现行宪制性规定所赋予的权限执行“副署权”，云云。对于韩国瑜发文痛批台行政机构，郭正亮19日在台媒节目中表示，韩上周释出了善意，结果却换来民进党冰冷的回应，如今韩知道面对的是什么集团。但这时搬出《论语》《孟子》没有用，因为现在是在战场上，在战场上碰到流氓，“你还跟他讲《论语》”，未来的问题是“朝野”怎么互动。
