Last year, in Asia alone, Interpol operations resulted in more than 4,000 suspects arrested and more than $1 billion criminal assets intercepted," Al Raisi stated. He went on to emphasize that ransomware attacks and drug trafficking are among Asia's top crime threats, and that Interpol is determined to put an end to them.

During the recent Interpol Asian Regional Conference in Abu Dhabi, Al Raisi spoke to more than 150 law enforcement officials from 42 countries about the pressing policing issues in the region. He emphasized the importance of cross-border collaboration, stating that Asia's diversity was one of the greatest strengths in the fight against crime.

One example of a successful Interpol operation was Lionfish V, where over 1,300 arrests were made and 581kg of Captagon pills seized, with contributions from 22 countries including the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, and Jordan

“In a world where crime knows no borders, Asia’s diversity is one of our greatest strengths,” Al Raisi said. “I am confident that the discussions in this room will shape the future of policing in Asia and beyond.”

In conclusion, Interpol's embrace of the digital era is a critical step in the fight against financial fraud, cybercrimes, and drug trafficking. With the support of law enforcement agencies from around the world, Interpol is poised to make a significant impact in the years to come.
