Fiji has reiterated its commitment towards combating organised crime in the Pacific and it must continue amid this pandemic.
Chairman for the Pacific Community for Law Enforcement Cooperation and Fiji’s Acting Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu made this comment during the Transnational Serious and Organized Crime Taskforce (TSOC) meeting held via Zoom this afternoon.
According to a statement from Fiji Police, the meeting was an important one as discussions over combatting a broad range of transnational crimes, including drug trafficking, cybercrime, and child exploitation in the Pacific were deliberated.

There are up to 850,000 people who pose a sexual risk to children in Britain, according to a report from the United Kingdom’s equivalent to the FBI, the National Crime Agency (NCA).
The 2021 National Strategic Assessment of Serious and Organised Crime published by the NCA on Tuesday claimed that between 550,000 and 850,000 people in the UK “pose varying forms of sexual risk to children.”
The report said that criminals are increasingly using the internet to prey on child victims in the UK, which the agency warned leads to real-world exploitation.
“Online exploitation has been shown to enable offending in the real world, with the online grooming of children leading to physical abuse and the large scale blackmailing of children to abuse themselves,” the NCA said, adding: “the child sexual abuse threat continues to grow, exacerbated by rising online activity.”
Britain s ex-GCHQ chief has urged the government to ban ransomware payments to stop criminals profiteering from attacks.
Ciaran Martin, the founding chief executive of GCHQ s Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), spoke after the Irish health service was targeted by international criminals yesterday.
The Taoiseach refused to pay a ransom demand after the Health Service Executive (HSE) was plunged into chaos by the most significant cybercrime in the history of the State which threatened the care of thousands of patients.
And Mr Martin today said making these payments illegal would help stop the funding of organised criminals who forced businesses into helping pay for further attacks.
