Jul 27 - RGP's Fraud Squad Officer Invited To Speak At Europol Event

An officer from the Royal Gibraltar Police's Economic Crime Unit's Fraud Squad was invited to speak at the third edition of the Europol Training Course on Payment Card Fraud Forensics and Investigations.

The course, which was held at the Spanish National Police Academy in Avila in Spain, focused on the forensic examination of skimming devices, payment card and ATM malware forensics as well as investigative techniques to target criminal networks responsible for international payment fraud incidents.

Last month, Detective Sergeant Cavallo Soane from the RGP Economic Crime Unit’s Fraud Squad was invited to address the 62 participants representing law enforcement agencies from 29 countries, including 22 EU Member States.

A spokesman for the RGP said: "DS Soane, in conjunction with local company IDT Financial Services Ltd, presented a case study on international cooperation between law enforcement and the benefits of Police and Private Sector working together.

"The case study delved into an investigation by Australian Police in Canberra in 2014, that revealed a Fraud syndicate operating over international boundaries and which utilised legitimate financial business ventures to facilitate fraudulent activity. DS Soane utilised the case study to illustrate the mechanisms available to investigators for international exchange of information.

"DS Soane has been awarded a certificate of appreciation by the Head of the European Cybercrime Centre at Europol inn recognition of [his] outstanding contribution to the success of the 3rd Europol Training Course on Payment Card Fraud Forensics and Investigation."
