The discussions centered on assessing the high level of bilateral cooperation between the two national institutions. The primary objective of the meeting was to strengthen joint efforts in combating serious transnational criminal activities.
Specific areas of collaboration reviewed included the fight against organized crime, drug trafficking networks, money laundering operations, and the international pursuit and capture of fugitives. Key participants in the discussions included Lorenzo Bucossi, Director of the Italian Police’s International Police Cooperation Service, and Marco Cali, Director of the Italian State Police’s Central Operational Service.
