The DATACROS II consortium met today at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan for the final workshop of the project. We evaluated the use of the DATACROS tool by 17 end-users (public and law enforcement agencies, investigative journalists, and civil society) and Transcrime. Among others, by:

– the French Autorité de la concurrence, to detect collusion in French public procurement;
– Cuerpo Nacional de Policía (CNP), to investigate cross-border money laundering between Spain and other countries;
– the Romanian National Agency for the Management of Seized Assets (ANABI), to investigate an international case of embezzlement;
– the Agence française anticorruption, to carry out due diligence activity;
– the Belgian Federal Police, to investigate illicit trafficking;
– the Czech competition authority Úřad pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže, to investigate potential prohibited agreements on pricing of goods for resale;
– Irpi Media, to investigate fraud involving EU public funds and organised crime in Rome;
– RISE Project, to analyse money laundering and PEPs between Romania and Spain.

And precious contributions from Europol, Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione, National Integrity Agency, National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), Crime&tech srl and the representative of the European Commission, on the prevention of public procurement corruption and other financialcrime schemes.

The use cases will be presented during the final public webinar in January. More information will be available soon on the Datacros website and social media channels.
