Fraud doesn’t always look like a crime.

Sometimes, it looks like a message. A call. An opportunity that feels too good to miss.

Fraud happens when a criminal actor intentionally deceives a person or entity to gain money or something else of value, causing harm or financial loss.

In 2022–2023, 85% of INTERPOL Red Notices were linked to financial fraud, showing the global scale and reach of this crime.

Lack of ocean governance creates opportunities for organized crime.

From carpentry and sewing to wax candle-making.

At Roumieh Central Prison, workshops give prisoners a sense of purpose and accountability while helping them build practical skills for life after release. Prisoners who have developed new skills also teach others, passing on knowledge that can help them rebuild their lives.

UNODC supports rehabilitation because it is essential for successful reintegration.

Tackling crimes that affect the environment requires well-trained officers, stronger evidence and coordinated investigations.

In Mozambique, UNODC, in partnership with Portugal's National Republican Guard, delivered specialized training for police and criminal investigators on natural resource and wildlife systems, environmental legislation and investigative techniques.

Through a Training of Trainers approach, newly trained instructors are now equipped to deliver courses across southern, central and northern Mozambique. By multiplying expertise, the programme helps increase long-term institutional capacity to effectively tackle crimes that affect the environment.

Not all crimes in fisheries happen at sea.

Corruption, fraud, money laundering and tax crimes take place across ports, trade routes and supply chains.

Tackling these crimes is key to preserving fisheries as a source of food, employment and economic stability.
