The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) will organize, on January 23rd at 5:00 pm (Spain), the webinar “Networks of power and violence: From the Italian mafia to Latin gangs”, which will be given by Luis Jiménez.
The event is held in collaboration with the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO), the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana de Puerto Rico (International Iberoamerican University, UNIB), the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana de México (International Iberoamerican University of Mexico, UNINI Mexico), the Fundación Universitaria Internacional de Colombia (International University Foundation of Colombia, UNINCOL), the Universidade Internacional do Cuanza (International University of Cuanza, UNIC), and the Universidad de La Romana (University of La Romana, UNIROMANA).
The webinar will focus on exploring in detail the types of criminal organizations that exist around the world, analyzing their distinctive characteristics, the hierarchical or decentralized structures they employ, and the operating models that have made them both local and global threats.
It will also examine the most representative groups, such as Russian mafias, Chinese triads and Colombian cartels, among others. In addition, the main illicit activities in which these organizations specialize will be addressed, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, arms smuggling, money laundering and cybercrime.
This analysis will provide insight into how these networks significantly impact the economy, security and international relations, and will highlight the need to design global and multidisciplinary strategies to address them.
Luis Jiménez Romero is the director of the Master in Criminalistics and the Master in Criminal Psychology, both of which are degrees from the European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO and promoted by FUNIBER through its scholarship program. In addition, he has more than 30 years of experience as a judicial expert.
The conference is free and open to all those interested in the subject, and will be broadcast live in each country where FUNIBER has a presence. The broadcasting schedules can be consulted in this link.
