INTERPOL is convening senior law enforcement officials in Guyana to address organized crime threats across the Americas, with financial crime high on the agenda. Fraud-related alerts across the Americas and Caribbean increased 40% between 2024 and 2025, according to INTERPOL’s second Global Financial Fraud Assessment Report. Officials will focus on money laundering, organized crime groups’ increasing misuse of cryptocurrencies, and methods for tracing and recovering criminal assets. The conference will also examine how INTERPOL’s new Operational Task Force Model can improve coordination and intelligence sharing for regional and transnational investigations. About 80 officials from 27 countries are attending alongside regional and international organizations.
