The Europol Podcast: Recent Episodes
Europol
The Europol Podcast is the official podcast of the EU’s agency for law enforcement cooperation. In this series, we shine a light on some of the biggest operations Europol has supported, and how we continue to fight crime.
As law enforcement intercepts messages sent by criminals on ANOM, this episode explores what they did next with the evidence they gathered. We hear from a Superintendent in the Swedish Police who used intelligence from Operation Greenlight to target criminals who were importing and selling drugs in Sweden. We also hear from Europol’s Georgios Raskos, who worked closely with the FBI on Operation Greenlight as they prepared to take action against the criminals.
Criminal networks are dependent on covert communication. This episode is the first of two looking at Operation Greenlight, one of the largest and most sophisticated international law enforcement operations to date dealing with encrypted networks. Two special agents from the FBI speak about creating the ANOM service and how criminals, in the wake of the EncroChat and SKY ECC takedowns, started making use of the smartphone-based messaging app for offences such as drug trafficking and money laundering.
Find out about how Europol worked with police forces around the world to take down the Boystown forum, a notorious online platform sharing images of child abuse, and discover how Europol brings international specialists together as part of the Victim Identification Task Force to safeguard children. Members of the public can help save victims too, and we speak with the online researchers who are checking Europol’s Trace an Object website and identifying images to help solve cold cases.
