Summary of project results

The natural consequence of a technological progress is the evolution of the methods and tools used by criminals, especially as far as financing of their illegal activity is concerned. With the technological development the amount and types of data that law enforcement authorities have to acquire and process in order to detect and pursue crime, has risen rapidly. New approach to crime and strategic analysis is thus necessary, especially in terms of digital forensics. Law enforcement authorithies are obliged to acquire and upgrade their skills of using the new data sources: acquisition, processing and analysing in order to pinpoint the accurate pieces of information crucial in ongoing investigations. Knowledge of new technologies, i.e. blockchain or cryptocurriencies, innovative analysis methods based on graph databases, the idea of Intelligence-Led Policing, data retrieval techniques based on data forensics, national and international legislation concerning AML/KYC procedures, tax policy and forms of economic activity in different countries, that the Project intends to cover, will have a positive effect on efficiency of prevention and fight of economic crime by the Project partcipants.
