Sokratis Marioglou of the Hellenic Police in Greece attended a CEPOL webinar on October 2, 2015 regarding whether pickpocketing constitutes organized crime. The webinar highlighted the modus operandi of pickpocketing in relation to organized crime through three case studies: Operation Festival on organized theft at festivals in Germany; Operation Forced Landing on organized Polish pickpockets in Europe presented by Norway; and a case study from the UK's Force Intelligence Bureau and Intelligence Development Manager. The webinar aimed to showcase pickpocketing operations and was organized by the European Police College.
