Interpol, the international criminal police organisation, is partnering with IDnow, an identity proofing firm, to share expertise through global training programmes.

The 12 month collaboration will see IDnow experts deliver a series of training programmes to local law enforcement and immigration departments, starting in Abu Dhabi later this month.

Headed up by Lovro Persen, who has more than 24 years’ experience in identity and fraud management at national and international levels across both the public and private sector, the partnership will provide Interpol with insights into the latest trends and case studies in the world of fraud prevention.

IDnow is based in Munich with offices around the world, including UAE, France and the UK.

Its technology provides businesses with a unified set of methods to meet identity verification and document signing needs, along with identity management services to effectively orchestrate, customize and configure the proofing process.

Lovro Persen, director of document management & fraud at IDnow, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Interpol to share our knowledge and expertise on the subject of fraud prevention.

“Sophisticated fraud is becoming increasingly prolific, with recent statistics from PwC revealing that 47 percent of companies had suffered at least one form of fraud in the prior 24 months, at a cost of $42 billion.

“Our partnership will help ensure relevant officials and departments have access to IDnow’s team of experts, who will be sharing important knowledge in the global fight against fraud.”
