By comparing these findings with existing assessments of illicit activities and flows, the project aims to provide insights into the potential risks associated with GTH involvement in illicit financial flows (IFFs).

In a series of SOC ACE-supported workshops in 2023, a taskforce of experienced experts and practitioners from fields including organised crime, financial crime and cybersecurity, identified the need for a more nuanced definition of state threats, and a better grasp of the scale, scope and character of current state threats faced at present.

The scale of Russian use of illicit financial networks has increased rapidly since February 2022. Unless effectively countered, Russia's use of financial and economic tools will give it an advantage in its war against Ukraine and may begin to pose a potential systemic threat to international financial and trading systems.

Organised crime is taking new forms in the region, its borderlands, and seaports. The war has disrupted licit and illicit supply chains throughout the region, changed routes of trafficking and shifted production of illicit commodities.
