The Secretary General of Interpol, Jürgen Stock, comments that “for many, the metaverse seems to herald an abstract future, but the questions it raises are those that have always motivated Interpol – supporting our member countries in fighting crime and making the world, virtual or not, more safe for those who inhabit it.”
In addition to the virtual environment, Interpol also announced the creation of a Metaverse Expert Group, which aims to encourage security within the metaverse.
