Deputy Attorney General James Cole Speaks at High Level Hemispheric Meeting Against Transnational Organized Crime

“It is a distinct pleasure to be in Mexico City at today’s Hemispheric Meeting and to have the unique opportunity to speak with you – our shared partners in the Americas and Spain – about transnational organized crime, undoubtedly a global menace that we must work together to defeat. Organized criminals have adapted rapidly to the new, globalized world. They are, in fact, helping to shape that world, and not in a good direction,” said Deputy Attorney General Cole.
