Destabilisation is not only about getting money anymore. It's also about helping ideologically oriented states to reach their goals, Europol Director Catherine De Bolle tells Radio Schuman

Europol new study finds the latest trends in organised crime, revealing an increase in the use of AI tools in criminal activities including money laundering, fraud, and scams. 

“In fact, the system is training itself and you don't need 200 people anymore to send all the mails,” says Europol’s Executive Director Catherine De Bolle, regarding the adoption of AI in organized criminal activities, “The AI system is even more accurate than the human letter, so you do not really find the mistakes anymore.” 

Europol also noted a growing cooperation between organised crime groups and foreign actors aiming to destabilise the EU. As a result, monetary gains from the crimes are no longer their only incentive.

Radio Schuman also features discussions on the European Union’s response to growing security concerns at its eastern borders and the uncertain US involvement in European defence, as well as this year’s recipient of the Hunyadi János Award.
