 Interpol's anti-corruption unit deals with corruption, asset recovery, crime and sports with a primary focus on match fixing and performance enhancing drugs. Overall, it can be said that corruption is generally used for personal interest and financial gains. Offenders might bribe others to have an illicit advantage or take advantage of their position. But corruption can also be considered to be at the crossroads to most other areas of crime. Criminals use corrupt practices such as bribery to commit and enable crimes to remain hidden and also to avoid prosecution. Asset recovery is also interlinked with many other crime areas as criminal networks exist for financial profits and terrorist network depend on sufficient financing. Focusing financial resources away from criminals is a main tool to sustainably fight organized criminal networks. But the seizure of assets can be very challenging for investigators as technological development and innovation facilitates the moving of financial assets around the globe. As a response to the internalization of asset movement, Interpol and its partners from the STAR initiative host a global focal point platform as a network of anti-corruption and asset recovery practitioners. This network of experts is a supplement to Interpol's general global network of NCBs and regional offices. Furthermore, the anti-corruption unit actively supports capacity building in the framework of the global program on anti-corruption, financial crime and asset recovery. In addition, a major part of the anti-corruption unit works on protecting the integrity of sports. One focus is on match fixing and another focus on performance enhancing drugs generally known as doping. In the field of match fixing, Interpol with its partners provides trainings to law enforcement as well as athletes, trainers and other target groups. We are cooperating with the Council of Europe to implement the convention on the manipulation of sports competitions. In the field of performance enhancing drugs, the anti-corruption unit cooperates with key stakeholders to improve the possibilities of law enforcement to fight doping in professional as well as amateur sports. The anti-corruption unit also supports and coordinates major cases by request of Interpol's member countries. Finally, I would like to say that anti-corruption is about protecting the integrity of public authorities, the private sector and sports competition. It therefore aims at protecting the trust in the societies of Interpol's member countries.
