Europol says Turks involved with the most threatening criminal networks in Europe - Nordic Monitor

Quick Glance: Europol's Insights on Turkish Criminal Networks in Europe

A Europol report confirms that under President Erdogan, Turkey has become a hub for criminal syndicates posing a serious threat to European security.

Turkish criminal networks extend across the Western Balkans, engaging in fraudulent schemes and arms trafficking, with Turkey being highlighted as a key location for online fraud systems.

Turkey plays a key role in illegal firearms trafficking into Europe and exports weapons to conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa.

Despite pressure from FATF, Turkey remains on the grey list and has intensified operations against criminal networks in the last 10 months, resulting in the arrest of hundreds of suspects.

Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy

Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.

The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.

Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.

The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.
