What to Expect In This Webinar
NarcoFiles, led by OCCRP and El Centro Latinoamericano de InvestigaciĂłn PeriodĂstica (CLIP), is primarily based on a leak of over seven million emails from the Colombian prosecutor’s office. The trove was initially obtained in 2022 by a group of “hacktivists” known as Guacamaya.
In this 45-minute webinar, you can expect journalists to discuss:
* Criminal Empires: How organized crime groups have fanned out around the globe, permeating economies, corrupting authorities, and expanding their reach across borders.
* New Business Models: How criminal gangs are innovating and evolving their business models in the face of new economic incentives and opportunities for experimentation.
* The Murky World of Ports: Commercial ports have become a hotbed of criminal activity, from Antwerp and Rotterdam to Gioia Tauro, Guayaquil, Santa Marta, and LimĂłn.
* Dark Money: The underground flows of illicit drug profits and the financial professionals who help enable these crimes.
* Green Crimes: The environmental impact of organized crime, and how their activities are destroying wildlife, polluting rivers, and threatening protected areas.
* Police and Thieves: The role of law enforcement agencies who are on the front lines in the fight against organized crime — but sometimes become part of the problem.
There will also be time for questions from the audience at the end.
