INTERPOL

Fraud is no longer a peripheral threat, it is at the centre of polycriminality, intersecting with organized crime, human trafficking and cybercrime. 🔎 The 2026 INTERPOL Global Financial Fraud Threat Assessment, released today at the #GlobalFraudSummit, highlights: 🔵 The increased use of AI to plan and execute fraud campaigns 🔵 The systematic integration of sextortion into scams 🔵 The use of specialized money laundering groups 🔵 The globalization of trafficking-fuelled scam centres The good news?

The #GlobalFraudSummit continues today in Vienna, looking beyond the financial impact of fraud to explore stronger collaboration mechanisms, faster responses, and the devastating toll it has on victims.

Our member countries have been unequivocal: fraud has become one of INTERPOL’s top operational priorities. For me, the one message we have to take away from this Global Fraud Summit is not just that we need to act. But that we can act. Right away. If we look at the Call to Action, many of the recommended steps can happen straight away. They don’t need a new platform for us to deliver immediate, impactful results. INTERPOL provides a trusted, neutral platform for 196 member countries, and trusted partners like the UNODC and the European Commission, to share intelligence to fully understand the threat, and to work together to combat it. We can start with a default operational decision that fraud is a cross-border threat. From today. We can start sharing more intelligence to INTERPOL’s secure environment to further enhance our criminal assessments. Straight away. We can rely on INTERPOL’s established communications networks to reach out to partner agencies and to check our data holdings. Right now. We have the capabilities, the tools and the expertise. What we need is the energy and commitment to fully use them.
