  • Abstract @On Ita (17 Dic
    RETE OPERATIVA @ON PER IL CONTRASTO AI GRUPPI CRIMINALI ORGANIZZATI MAFIA-STYLE ________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT 1. PREMESSA La DIA sta sostenendo con sempre maggior impegno l’azione di contrasto internazionale alle mafie , non solo sul piano operativo, ma anche attraverso una più energica opera di sensibilizzazione degli omologhi stranieri finalizzata a dare nuova e rafforzata consapevolezza del fenomeno transnazionale della criminalità organizzata e di quella di tipo mafioso. In tale contesto, è stato ritenuto necessario perfezionare, nel corso del Semestre italiano di Presidenza del Consiglio Europeo, uno strumento che integrasse a livello operativo gli strumenti di cooperazione di polizia già esistenti. Al riguardo, il Consiglio GAI 1 in data 4 dicembre 2014, su iniziativa italiana ha approvato l’istituzione della Rete Operativa Antimafia @ON. 2. COS’È @ON La Rete @ON , in collaborazione con Europol, rende possibile l’impiego sul posto di investigatori specializzati 2 delle Forze di Polizia aderenti al Network, per il contrasto delle organizzazioni criminali “gravi” e mafia-style presenti nell’Unione Europea e non, favorendo lo scambio di buone prassi ed il necessario rapporto fiduciario. I gruppi criminali attenzionati sono principalmente italiani, di etnia albanese, euroasiatici, bande di motociclisti, ma anche quelli emergenti (mafie nigeriane, cinesi, turche, ecc.) che pongono un serio rischio per la sicurezza e l’economia dell’U.E. La Rete @ON ed il suo progetto di finanziamento europeo denominato ONNET , si basano su un network di Paesi e su un “Core Group” (Italia, Francia, Germania, Spagna, Belgio e Paesi Bassi ) che funge da cabina di regia per la selezione delle investigazioni da supportare.

Individuals, such as Timothy McVeigh, may also engage in terrorist acts such as the Oklahoma City bombing. If the terrorism is part of a broader insurgency, counter-terrorism may also form a part of a counter-insurgency doctrine, but political, economic, and other measures may focus more on the insurgency than the specific acts of terror.

  • Assessing Organized Crime: the Case of Germany
    Assessing Organized Crime: The Case of Germany by Klaus von Lampe published online in ECPR Standing Group eNewsletter Organised Crime No. 3, September 2002 Assessing Organized Crime: The Case of Germany1 by Klaus von Lampe INTRODUCTION Organized crime is one of the most prominent items on the criminal policy agenda in most, if not all European countries, not least in those that have no traditional organized crime problem. Initially there had been some controversy over whether or not organized crime existed at all in the absence of stereotypical mafia-like associations.2 Today, policy makers, law enforcement officials and the general public consider this issue closed. They are concerned with the concrete nature, extent and dynamics of organized crime. In many countries and on the international level efforts have been made over the past few years to assess the state of organized crime to determine the seriousness of the problem and to provide a basis for devising and implementing countermeasures. In Germany, the federal police agency Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) has been drawing up an annual report since 1992 that is meant to reflect on the situation of organized crime. Since 1999 the report incorporates an assessment of the “organized crime potential” of specific criminal groups (Bundeskriminalamt, 2002a; Meywirth, 1999). Other agencies are working on an explicitly threat-based assessment of crime groups, including the Queensland Crime Commission and the Queensland Police Service with their Project Krystal (Queensland, 1999), the United Nations’ Center for International Crime Prevention (CICP) with its Global Program on Transnational Organized Crime (United Nations, 1999), and the Council of the European Union which pursues a plan to study organized crime on the European level (Council of the European Union, 2002) based on a methodology devised by the Ghent University’s Crime Research Group (Black et al., 2000; 2001).

  • The AFP Is Well Informed of the Criminal Practices and Illicit Trading Taking Place on the Dark Web
    The AFP is well informed of the criminal practices and illicit trading taking place on the dark web. We are working with our partners to combat all forms of technology-enabled crime. In recent years there has been a steady increase in the number of seizures of all drug types via the mail system detected at the Australian border. High frequency-low volume importations such as ones through our mail system pose a considerable cumulative threat. These shipments contribute towards supplying the Australian market and exacerbate social problems within Australia associated with drug harm. Seizing these smaller importations can impact on disrupting the drug trade. The AFP and other Australian law enforcement agencies are well aware of this method of drug importation and are committed to targeting and combating it. The AFP works alongside its partner agencies on this matter, including Border Force and state and territory police. While it is not an offence to access websites that provide access to sellers of illegal substances, it is an offence to import or attempt to import a border controlled drug including synthetic drugs into Australia purchased from such a website. Offenders should be aware that if they seek to import illicit and synthetic drugs they will be subject of law enforcement scrutiny and investigation. Recently, a national co-ordinated policing campaign focused on detecting drugs being distributed via the Australian postal service saw a total of 62 illicit drugs or illegally obtained prescription medications seized by police. Operation Vitreus was co-ordinated by the National Methylamphetamine Strategy Group, which is currently lead by SA Police (SAPOL), but involved all State and Territory police agencies, working in conjunction with the Australian Federal Police, Australian Border Force (ABF), the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and AUSTRAC.

  • Homeland Security: the Department of Defense’S Role
    Order Code RL31615 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Homeland Security: The Department of Defense’s Role Updated May 14, 2003 Steve Bowman Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Homeland Security: The Department of Defense’s Role Summary For over a century the U.S. military has focused on expeditionary warfare overseas. Its participation in domestic operations has been sporadic and generally in response to natural disasters. With the heightened concern about large-scale terrorism, have come efforts to involve DOD more closely with federal, state and local agencies in their homeland security activities. DOD resources are unique in the government, both in their size and capabilities, and can be applied to both deter and respond to terrorist acts. While the DOD leadership is ready and willing to play a supporting role in these efforts, it wishes to maintain overseas military operations as the Department’s primary focus, and avoid an drain of fiscal, materiel, and personnel resources to the homeland security mission. In response to the increased focus on homeland security, on October 1, 2002, DOD activated a new combatant command, Northern Command or NORTHCOM.. Exactly how DOD and a new DHS will establish and maintain coordination and cooperation remains to be seen. Legislation creating the DHS (P.L. 107-296) is silent on this question, and details on the new NORTHCOM are scarce. The intelligence collection and analysis capabilities within the Department of Defense are a substantial portion of the United States’ national intelligence assets.

  • Top 17 Cases Version 4/27/2020, with Addendum
    2020 DNA Hit of the Year Top 17 Cases Version 4/27/2020, with Addendum * All addenda written by submitters. 1. Headless Outlaw’s Torso in Old Lava Tube Name of Submitter: Clark County Sheriff Bart May Location: Dubois, Idaho, U.S.A. Agency: Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho Date of Crime: 1916 Date and Type of Hit: 2018-2019 (genetic genealogy to match with general family tree); 2018-2019 (familial match with living grandson to confirm family relationship) Executive Summary: 100-year-old unidentified human remains found in an old lava tube in 1979 leads to a cold case identification effort that lasts many years. However, his head was never located, baffling the FBI and other investigators for years. They could only establish that he was of European descent, with reddish-brown hair, and was about 40-years-old at the time of death. His arms, hand, and legs were found in 1991. Over the years, investigators enlisted the help of Idaho State University and its team of forensic genetic genealogists (anthropology students and staffers). This also included experts from the Smithsonian Institution and the FBI. Last year investigators further enlisted the help of the DNA Doe Project, hoping to use DNA and ancestral analysis to identify the man. Experts from Othram, a forensic DNA analysis company, analyzed samples taken from the remains, while a forensic genealogist from the DNA Doe Project worked with her colleagues to build a ‘genealogical tree’. The man’s DNA profile was then uploaded to various genetic genealogy DNA databases for relatives. This led to the man’s living 87-year-old grandson, whose sample was taken and tested to confirm a familial relationship.
