South African police are sending their deputy minister and a bunch of senior cops to the big Interpol meeting happening in Morocco this week. Cassel Mathale is leading the crew that wants to talk about how transnational crime keeps messing up the country through dodgy border activity and smuggling operations. They are pushing for better coordination on stuff like stolen vehicles getting shipped across borders and drugs flooding in through ports.
The squad plans to chat with other countries about beefing up cyber defenses and possibly using new tools to track down money that criminals stash overseas. KwaZulu-Natal's top commissioner is tagging along to help advocate for intelligence sharing between nations. The delegation thinks these meetups could actually help South Africa get better technology and support for cracking down on cross-border criminal networks that have been running wild.
