Examining Predicate Offences in 2023: The crimes behind the crime

About This Webinar

A predicate offence is a crime that generates monetary gains, such as wildlife trafficking, human trafficking, drug trafficking, corruption, fraud and tax evasion.

In this roundtable discussion, our panel of global experts from the public and private sectors will discuss:
- local, regional and international trends and typologies that are likely to continue and those that may emerge in 2023
- the evolving conditions that enable criminals to continue to commit what has been described as "the crimes behind the crime"
- why crime convergence should be better understood and integrated as part of a broader approach to tackling organised crime
- red flag indicators to assist you in capturing relevant data and identifying and reporting suspicious activity
- the role of technology. Is it an enabler of crime or a powerful tool to fight it?
- resilient frameworks that could more effectively assist you in helping to stop these crimes.

Head of Intelligence, United for Wildlife Taskforces
Dr. Tim Wittig is a conservationist, professor, and former defense intelligence analyst. He is a research fellow at the University of Oxford's Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science (ICCS), an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London, and Head of Intelligence for the Royal Foundation's United for Wildlife Financial and Transport sector Taskforces.

Tim has lived in 8 countries on 3 continents and worked in over 40 different countries. His professional background is in research & development and applied sciences, intelligence-led targeting of illicit financial networks, and African and global security.

Tim began his career in national security, and was one of the first people in the US Intelligence Community (IC) to treat biodiversity and ecosystem collapse as a threat to global security.

Since their inception in 2016, Tim has played a central role in the United for Wildlife Financial and Transport Taskforces, a groundbreaking program of the Royal Foundation of the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge to use data and intelligence, alongside high-level formal commitments, to mobilize 150+ of the worlds’ largest banks, maritime shipping companies, and airlines to take meaningful action against global wildlife trafficking. Tim conceived of and currently runs the central intelligence sharing system of the both Taskforces.

He came to work professionally in conservation after observing how the major threats to the environment today - species loss, climate change, pollution, et al - are all underpinned and driven often to a large extent by crime and corruption, illicit networks, and societal injustice. And that rigorous, hard-hitting intelligence and analysis of these dynamics, especially when done at scale, will be a game changer in how we confront threats to the world’s wildlife and ecosystems.

Traffik Analysis Hub www.traffikanalysis.org is a new stand alone cross sector initiative developed in partnership with IBM and Clifford Chance to bring diverse data sets together and enable the production of a tailored analysis in a highly consumable visualisation for all participants.

Traffik Analysis Hub offers a highly accessible analysis of trafficking risk to financial institutions and businesses to make their systems more resilient to trafficking money flows and supply chains less vulnerable. Through TAH analysis, audits of all descriptions are more focused and law enforcement and NGOs are able to conduct their work in greater context as they address the threat of trafficking. Early participants include Interpol, several major banks and universities, and a wide range of NGOs from across the globe.
