RAPAPORT... Crime-catchers from around the world have gathered in The Hague
this week to increase international cooperation in what is described as the
first global law enforcement forum on the illicit diamond trade.
Europol, the European Law Enforcement Agency based in the
Dutch capital, is hosting the three-day conference that started Tuesday. The
event brings together senior law enforcement and customs officials, regulatory
bodies, anti-money laundering experts and private sector experts with a stake
in combating the illicit trade and trafficking.
“This forum is a crucial step forward in our mission to
disrupt the criminal activity that touches not just the U.S. but the entire world,” said
Stephen Richardson, assistant director for the criminal investigative division
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The congress will provide a platform for sharing information
and networking, the FBI said. It will also help build law enforcement
partnerships that will lead to the identification, dismantling and disruption
of criminal networks associated with the illicit trade in diamonds.
