More than 90 participants from 33 countries and Europol took part in the first edition of the Trackathon. Over two days, they worked together to locate wanted fugitives through OSINT and SOCMINT research.
The Trackathon resulted in the investigation of 59 high-level fugitive cases. Of those 59 cases, new leads were discovered in 50 investigations. There are 9 new location leads. All 50 cases with new leads will now be further handled on national level by the respective FASTs.
The event was hosted by the German FAST team, as current ENFAST president, and Europol. The event, that has been over one year in the making, was preceded by similar national events in Belgium and The Netherlands.
