In his address to the IIEA, Executive Director Wainwright discussed how operational outcomes and resulting insights gained from this endeavour have been brought to bear in the much more regulated, but not necessarily more effective, domain of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF). The Executive Director analysed how these developments are emblematic of the wider challenges facing law enforcement in a globalised, tech-enabled world.
