Types of Transnational Crimes Investigated by HSI

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) investigates a variety of transnational crimes, including financial crimes, cybercrimes, and human rights violations. These crimes cross state borders and violate both domestic and international laws.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), as part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, plays a crucial role in combating transnational crimes. These include financial crimes, cybercrimes, and human rights violations that transcend national boundaries.

Financial crimes refer to illegal activities related to financial systems, such as money laundering, fraud, and corruption. Cybercrimes involve criminal acts conducted through the use of computers or the internet, including hacking, online scams, and data breaches. Human rights violations encompass actions that infringe upon basic human rights, such as human trafficking, forced labor, and torture.

HSI's investigations into these transnational crimes require a coordinated international effort to address the complexities of these offenses. The agency collaborates with international entities and organizations to combat these crimes effectively.
