Service d'information, de renseignement et d'analyse stratégique sur la criminalité organisée (Sirasco)

The Service d'information, de renseignement et d'analyse stratégique sur la criminalité organisée (Sirasco) is a French intelligence service focused on gathering information, intelligence, and strategic analysis related to organized crime. They are newsworthy due to their insights into evolving criminal tactics and trends. Recent reports from Sirasco highlight a concerning increase in the recruitment of women and minors by organized crime groups, as criminals exploit the perception that these demographics are less likely to be scrutinized by law enforcement. Additionally, Sirasco has reported a significant rise in cases of child prostitution, with victims becoming younger. These findings underscore Sirasco's crucial role in monitoring and understanding the changing landscape of organized crime in France, informing policy and law enforcement strategies to combat these threats.
