Struggling against and Pursuing Experienced Criminal Teams Roaming in Europe
The ISF project SPECTRE aims at providing investigators with financial support and innovative means to identify and dismantle Mobile Organised Crime Groups (MOCGs). The budget made available, has already allowed the organisation of 16 operational meetings, 1 training on special tactics, 1 seminar and 4 workshops. After twelve months of activity, 68 serious crime investigations are being carried out. The financing of operational meetings and deployment of innovative materials (GPS tracking devices, microphones, drones...) led to the dismantlement of 17 main MOCGs, 189 arrests and 1,7 M€ of seized criminal assets so far.
