Europol and Brazil have signed a strategic agreement to co-operate in combatting cyber crime and other cross-border criminal activities. The agreement will enable both partners to work on some key areas such as migrant smuggling, cybercrime, drug trafficking, asset recovery, money laundering, organised property crime and trafficking in human beings.

Brazil has a significant and growing cyber crime problem as cyber fraud gangs are turning their attention to online lenders and emerging financial services. The agreement allows for the exchange of general strategic intelligence as well as strategic technical and operational information to enable collaboration in several key areas.
