Global cooperation against crime: Europol and Interpol in action

Published on May 16, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Foro3D analyzes the proposal for international cooperation to combat organized crime. The initiative proposes an immediate exchange of data between national agencies, Europol, and Interpol. The goal is to create a direct channel to share intelligence on drug trafficking, cybercrimes, and money laundering, accelerating processes that are currently lost in bureaucracy.

Unified platform for real-time data exchange 🌐

The technical plan proposes a standardized API that connects local police databases with the central systems of Europol and Interpol. End-to-end encryption and biometric authentication would be used to prevent leaks. Each country would maintain control of its data but could consult records from other states in minutes, not months. Interoperability is the key challenge.

A bureaucrat's dream: sharing Excel without asking for permission ☕

Officials who spend years filling out paper forms could now share files in seconds. Of course, provided that each country's systems don't run Windows 95 and an administrator who still uses floppy disks. The idea is nice: a police officer in Madrid could check data on a drug trafficker in Buenos Aires without having to call three embassies. But we'll see if the coffee is enough for all that.
