Benidorm is playing host, as part of the events to mark the Spanish EU Presidency, to a summit on international crime. Chiefs from Interpol, Europol and Sirene are all in the town to discuss organised crime and how best to coordinate the response against it.

The meeting started on Wednesday with 160 police chiefs from 40 countries in attendance. As well as those from the EU there were invited guests from the United States, India, Mexico, Turkey and Colombia.

The Spanish Judicial Police Commissioner, Juan Antonio González, told the press that under the current world order, there are ‘new risks and threats which can collectively or individually affect the citizens of all countries’, going on to name terrorism, and drug and people trafficking.

Their discussions continue today, Thursday.
