Odaily Planet Daily News International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) is investigating how to monitor crime in the metaverse. However, a senior Interpol official believes that there are some problems in defining "metaverse crime". According to the BBC, Interpol Secretary General Jurgen Stock revealed that the organization intends to monitor criminal activities in the metaverse. Stock emphasized the ability of "sophisticated and professional" criminals to adapt to new technological tools to commit crimes. According to Stock, criminals have begun to target users on platforms similar to the metaverse, adding; "We need to respond adequately to this." However, the organization faces the problem of how to define metaverse crime. Madan Oberoi, the organization's executive director of technology and innovation, said: "There are some crimes that I don't know if they can still be called crimes. If you study the definitions of these crimes in the real space and try to apply them to the metaverse, you will encounter difficulties." In addition, he revealed that Interpol is also faced with the challenge of raising awareness of the possibility of metaverse crimes. Earlier in October 2022, Interpol launched the INTERPOL Metaverse, a metaverse designed specifically for global law enforcement agencies. The metaverse allows registered users to visit the virtual scene of the Interpol General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France, and even interact with other officials through their Avatars and provide immersive training courses for global law enforcement agencies.
