Europol report identifies more than 800 criminal networks in EU

47% Center coverage: 17 sources

Europol said it has identified 821 criminal networks operating in the European Union in the bloc’s first mapping of the most threatening groups of this kind in the continent. Commenting on a report published Friday, authorities said the analysis found how the most threatening criminal networks are organized, which criminal activities they engage in, and how and where they operate. It also assesses which of their characteristics increase the threat posed by these networks. “The threat from organized criminal groups is huge. It's one of the biggest threats we have towards our societies. It's also a threat towards our security, towards our cohesion in society, towards our children, our youngsters and towards our democracies,” European Commissioner Ylva Johansson told a press conference in Brussels. Europol said the criminal networks identified, which comprise more than 25,000 individuals, were selected based on criteria around the threat they pose.See the Story
