Academy Roundtable: The Invisible Threat – Challenges and Responses to Organized Crime in Germany

Germany faces multifaceted challenges related to organized crime. Among the most prominent are drug trafficking, cybercrime, human smuggling and money laundering. Added to this is clan-based organized crime and the infiltration of local crime networks by foreign malicious actors. Whereas organized crime has become more adaptive, decentralized and networked, Germany's responses to organized crime are generally slow, reactive, and inflexible. Germany will need to expand and upgrade its efforts, including in partnership with entities such as Europol and Interpol. 

The Robert Bosch Academy is inviting leading research and policy experts to discuss organised crime challenges and responses in Germany. The event is designed to prioritize organized crime threats, identify gaps in Germany's (and Europe's) response, and explore potential policy options to disrupt criminal networks.

This event is being organized in cooperation with the Igarape Institute and Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.

Participation by invitation only.
