Silver bullets against corruption

• In Event: EUROC 9 – Digital Technologies and Organisational Crimes

Abstract

The European Unión needs more guarantees against corruption. A new proposal of European directive offers the opportunity to improve the legislation of member states. The needs to protect financial interests also advise adopting additional precautions. This communication will analyze the priority reforms.

Artificial intelligence is a tool to control corruption. Big Data helps detect fraud and overprincing in Public procurement. The new apps used to control Next Generation funds collect a lot of information. Supervisory bodies must be modernized and incorporate technological experts into their workforces.

Public-private collaboration should also be studied as an alternative. If a company has information about fraud, it should share it. National anti-fraud offices should increase their resources, and the lack of collaboration with them be sanctioned.
