The Unit for the Suppression of Organized Crime Case Study Copy
Case Study
As part of a European Law Enforcement Agency, the Unit for
the Suppression of Organized Crime tackles organized crime of
varying scopes on a daily basis. To prevent crime with a limited
amount of human resources and to keep up with the pace of
organized crime groups, it needs to use a state-of-the-art
approach.
Goal
The unit had to investigate a network
of seven people involved in money
laundering and drug trafficking crimes.
It was necessary to analyze 750 hours
of intercepted audio recordings and an
additional 120 hours of audio gathered
from covert home surveillance.
The number of cases running in parallel,
combined with the scarcity of time
and human resources, demanded an
automated software solution that would
significantly improve agents’ efficiency
and speed up the extraction of important
and actionable insights from the
recordings.
The ultimate goal was to reduce
the time needed for call analysis
and minimize the number of people
involved. It was important to be able to
solve such cases as quickly as possible to
prevent any more damage being caused
by these criminal activities.
Solution
Phonexia’s AI-powered voice biometrics
and speech recognition technologies
were chosen as the perfect fit for the
software solution developed by a
Phonexia partner. These technologies
offered rich integration possibilities,
on-premise development, and the most
accurate speaker identification capability
available on the market.
Although the solution used the full range
of Phonexia technologies, it was mainly
the crucial combination of Phonexia
Speaker Identification and Phonexia
Keyword Spotting technologies that
enabled the extremely effective way of
analyzing speakers and the content in
large amounts of audio.

criminal organizations.
"Despite Phonexia’s extensive
range of speech and voice
recognition technologies,
Phonexia experts were always
ready with an answer and
very supportive in all areas. All
clarifications were delivered
even faster than the agreed
period."
