Cybercrime
From 1-3 October 2014, TNTD/SPMU participated in the Interpol - Europol Cybercrime
Conference hosted by the Interpol Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore. Under the
theme “Cybercrime Investigations: The Full Cycle”, this three-day event brought together
representatives from law enforcement, private sector, academia and international
organizations from across the world. They discussed cybercrime investigations and the latest
techniques with a view to enhancing co-operation and strengthening responses to the
increased threat and harm caused by cybercrime. TNTD/SPMU gave a presentation on
OSCE activities related to cybercrime during the session on “Multi-stakeholder approach to
fight cybercrime”. TNTD/SPMU’s representative also used the opportunity to meet key
stakeholders and co-operation partners to network and to discuss upcoming OSCE tasks
within the field of cybercrime.
From 20-24 October 2014, in co-operation with the OSCE Mission to Montenegro and with
the support of the Montenegrin Ministry of Interior and the Montenegrin Police Academy,
TNTD/SPMU facilitated a regional advanced cybercrime training course in Danilovgrad,
Montenegro. The training, entitled “Advanced Forensics using Linux”, was provided by
instructors certified by the University College Dublin as part of the European Cybercrime
Training Education Group (ECTEG). The target group for this advanced course were the
same police officers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia who successfully completed the three-week
foundation-level course, held in Belgrade, Serbia in 2010 and the advanced course on “Using
Linux as an Investigative Tool”, delivered in Belgrade in 2011.
On 28-29 October 2014, TNTD/SPMU participated in the Second Meeting of the Working
Group on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg that was aimed at exploring
further practical and operational approaches to information gathering and possibilities to
stimulate co-operation between law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations, as well
as to improve networking among such agencies, prosecutors and the private sector. Some
40 criminal justice practitioners (law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges) representing
16 member states of the Council of Europe (14 OSCE participating States and one Partner
for Co-operation) and five international organizations were provided with information on
recent developments on the online trade of drugs in the “Darknet” (modes of operation and
the structure of the online drug market) and shared their experiences and good practices in
investigating such drug-related cybercrime and intercepting the delivery of the illicit drugs in
the real world. The Working Group on Cybercrime will continue to meet in 2015 to facilitate
the exchange of good practices in tackling the rapidly changing developments in the online
trade of drugs.

ECTEG. Attended by some 15 practitioners from law enforcement agencies from
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, as well as by a representative of the OSCE Project
