Europol warns of a chilling trend: criminal networks exploiting children for violent crimes, including murder, through online gaming and smartphones. These groups build trust, then blackmail or bribe children into committing atrocities. Europol has documented 105 instances, including 10 contract killings. Additionally, drug smugglers are using narco-submarines, and AI-driven fraud is on the rise, posing significant threats to European security.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
