Every year, cross-border investigations into illicit money flows are hindered by fragmented e-evidence. The TRACE project addresses this issue by delivering a modular open-source framework for money-laundering investigations which can be tailored to meet the needs of law enforcement agencies.
In this third edition of our newsletter, we summarise some key progress since our last update. | |

Valencia, Spain, will host the International Summit on Youth and Cybercrime on 1st March 2023, within the framework of the CC-DRIVER and RAYUELA projects. These initiatives are funded by the European Union to understand the drivers of cybercriminality, and research methods to prevent, investigate, and mitigate cybercrime. The International Summit, hosted by Valencia Local Police, will be a discussion forum where high level experts in the field can share their research and best practices to better tackle cybercrime across the EU and beyond. CC-DRIVER and RAYUELA will present their results and main findings to an audience composed of regional and national planners, policymakers, law enforcement agencies, research and academia, education and other experts in the field of cybersecurity. Details and sign-up instructions can be read here. | | | |
The CYCLOPES project has released a number of public reports, based on workshops with practitioners in the field of cybercrime.

The final conference of the ROXANNE project was hosted by Capgemini Technology Services and took place on 29th November at Campus Cyber, Paris, and online. ROXANNE is grateful to everyone who was involved with this very successful event, which saw around 110 participants attending in person and online. ROXANNE hosted people from all over the world, with varied backgrounds in LEAs, or as researchers, policymakers, representatives from industry, or members of civil society organisations or the external ethics board. Consortium partners presented the project’s achievements, the ethical approach to ROXANNE, the latest capabilities of the Autocrime platform (including tools that partners have developed), and the training platform and police use cases. Two panel discussions were organised to demonstrate connections beyond the ROXANNE project, and show the potential life of the Autocrime platform after the project ends. The first was dedicated to common challenges, future collaborations and future research directions with other projects, and the second presented the exploitation path for ROXANNE tools and discussed this with LEAs. Participants found the presentations and conversations to be interesting and fruitful, and more can be read about the event here. | | | |
