Rikkomisjus

Rikkomisjus, also known as the Commission for the Investigation of Organized Crime, is a specialized investigative body within the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board. Established in 2001, its primary mandate is to investigate and combat organized crime, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and other forms of serious criminal activity. The rikkomisjus operates independently of the regular police structure, allowing it to conduct investigations without the constraints of routine police work.

The rikkomisjus is composed of highly trained investigators with expertise in various fields such as cybercrime, financial crimes, and international organized crime. It employs advanced investigative techniques and technologies to gather evidence and build cases against criminal organizations. The commission works closely with international law enforcement agencies, sharing information and coordinating efforts to combat transnational crime.

The rikkomisjus plays a crucial role in Estonia's efforts to maintain law and order, protect its citizens, and uphold the rule of law. Its work often involves complex investigations that require a multidisciplinary approach, combining expertise from different fields to dismantle criminal networks and bring perpetrators to justice. The commission's efforts have contributed significantly to Estonia's reputation as a country with a strong commitment to fighting organized crime.
