    Social Engineering and its use in financial fraud are rapidly expanding: as the criminals’ methods are being refined into sophisticated and targeted processes, more and more people fall for their scams. The fraudsters are often organized in international networks, which presents traditional law enforcement with a variety of legal problems. Bringing such criminals to justice requires close cooperation between law enforcement and criminal prosecution. Nicoletta della Valle is the director of the Swiss Federal Police (FEDPOL), an agency tasked with coordinating international cooperation in law enforcement. She is joined by Sandra Schweingruber, the Swiss Federal prosecutor for Cyber Crime. In their talk, Mrs. della Valle and Mrs. Schweingruber will present us their talk titled “An Exemplary Case of International Financial Fraud”. A case that has been challenging both FEDPOL and the national prosecution office as well.
