Episode 7 - Part 1
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:04.037
Welcome to Risk Matters, the insurance podcast brought to you by DWF and your
00:00:04.037 --> 00:00:07.897
global guide to the latest trends and issues in the insurance and reinsurance industry.
00:00:08.297 --> 00:00:12.337
Join us as we explore topical issues, emerging technologies and the innovative
00:00:12.337 --> 00:00:14.957
strategies that are shaping the global future of insurance.
00:00:19.077 --> 00:00:23.677
Welcome to Risk Matters, the insurance podcast from DWF.
00:00:24.277 --> 00:00:28.557
Today we will be talking about tackling insurance fraud in Europe.
00:00:28.977 --> 00:00:34.397
My name is Lorraine Caroline. I'm the Global Head of Fraud at DWF and I'm delighted
00:00:34.397 --> 00:00:36.837
to be joined today by Ben McBean,
00:00:37.117 --> 00:00:42.057
who is the Assistant Claims Manager for QBE International and a key member of
00:00:42.057 --> 00:00:46.437
QBE's multi-award winning Special Investigations Unit.
00:00:47.157 --> 00:00:52.837
Also, Romain Dupre, a partner at DWF in France, and Endre Malley,
00:00:53.317 --> 00:00:55.577
an associate of DWF in Italy.
00:00:56.937 --> 00:01:01.377
So turning to our first question, and I'll put this to you, Ben,
00:01:02.157 --> 00:01:06.997
what are the main fraud risks and trends currently observed in Europe?
00:01:08.213 --> 00:01:15.253
Hi, thanks for having me today. One of the things that we find is a major issue
00:01:15.253 --> 00:01:18.733
at the moment is to do with synthetic identities,
00:01:18.733 --> 00:01:27.853
so where criminals are utilising aspects of a genuine person's identity and
00:01:27.853 --> 00:01:32.453
trying to use that as part of setting up a claim or a policy.
00:01:32.453 --> 00:01:39.793
So they'll make documents such as driving licences and that sort of thing to
00:01:39.793 --> 00:01:40.993
make a fraudulent claim.
00:01:42.173 --> 00:01:47.233
We're also seeing issues with commercial entities
00:01:47.233 --> 00:01:50.833
that are being utilised by organised criminal
00:01:50.833 --> 00:01:53.813
gangs so where you don't
00:01:53.813 --> 00:01:56.893
have a lot of transparency around corporate structures
00:01:56.893 --> 00:02:00.493
it's really difficult to identify when
00:02:00.493 --> 00:02:04.213
there's a problem so there's instances
00:02:04.213 --> 00:02:09.453
such as cargo fraud and theft
00:02:09.453 --> 00:02:16.813
of plants and cargo and that sort of thing they're utilising false entities
00:02:16.813 --> 00:02:21.813
that are being created specifically for creating the fraud so that's a major
00:02:21.813 --> 00:02:25.853
problem at the moment Thanks Ben, same question to you Roman.
00:02:27.933 --> 00:02:32.313
Bonjour Lorraine Very happy to be with you today.
00:02:33.153 --> 00:02:41.133
I think as a general matter, I would say that the French market is not as mature
00:02:41.133 --> 00:02:45.893
as the market in the UK in fighting insurance fraud.
00:02:47.133 --> 00:02:50.093
So there is a tendency by
00:02:50.093 --> 00:02:53.573
many interests to be more careful now because
00:02:53.573 --> 00:03:00.953
there has been a witness of encountering more fraud recently and that's true
00:03:00.953 --> 00:03:06.073
in many different markets that's true for construction I'll come back to that
00:03:06.073 --> 00:03:12.893
later for the car and motor industry and as well as the marine claims I would say,
00:03:14.055 --> 00:03:16.095
And over to you, Andre.
00:03:18.355 --> 00:03:28.635
As Roman said, in Italy, the market is even less mature than France with respect to insurance fraud.
00:03:28.875 --> 00:03:35.215
And when discussing insurance fraud in Italy, the focus tends to be on the motor sectors.
00:03:36.035 --> 00:03:41.855
These for two main reasons. The first one is that we have official data only
00:03:41.855 --> 00:03:46.195
in respect with motor third-party insurance liability.
00:03:46.635 --> 00:03:55.295
And the other one is that motor sector accounts for 70% of the fraudulent claims in Italy.
00:03:55.955 --> 00:04:02.635
However, in the most recent years, we are facing an increase across all the
00:04:02.635 --> 00:04:04.815
different lines of business.
00:04:04.815 --> 00:04:13.035
For example, life, personal injury, theft, transport, medical malpractice.
00:04:14.974 --> 00:04:23.314
And another quite concerning aspect that also Ben was highlighting is that the criminals gang,
00:04:23.574 --> 00:04:32.894
organized gangs, are showing more and increasing interest in insurance fraud activities. Thank you.
00:04:33.354 --> 00:04:39.794
Ben, what are the most common types of insurance fraud seen in your market and
00:04:39.794 --> 00:04:41.594
can you share any examples?
00:04:42.714 --> 00:04:50.074
If I look at the types of things that I see the most, I see a lot of opportunistic fraud in Ireland.
00:04:51.234 --> 00:04:54.974
People making personal injury claims that are exaggerating the extent of the
00:04:54.974 --> 00:04:57.614
injury. So there's quite a lot of that in Ireland.
00:04:58.394 --> 00:05:06.714
From an organised perspective, as I mentioned, the challenges around cargo fraud,
00:05:07.954 --> 00:05:11.494
people using false identities to get into the supply chain.
00:05:12.994 --> 00:05:18.654
There's also construction people involved in stealing plant,
00:05:19.854 --> 00:05:25.654
potentially for it to be taken to Ukraine, Gaza those sort of places,
00:05:26.574 --> 00:05:29.574
we also see instances of
00:05:29.574 --> 00:05:32.994
stage thefts in hotels whether
00:05:32.994 --> 00:05:39.974
it's criminal gangs who are operating in a hotel to steal the belongings of
00:05:39.974 --> 00:05:49.914
genuine people or also using alleged thefts as ways in which they can mask money laundering.
00:05:50.074 --> 00:05:52.694
They'll say that they had a certain amount of money and...
00:05:53.864 --> 00:05:58.204
Expensive possessions stolen so they can make a claim, which then turns their
00:05:58.204 --> 00:06:01.064
dirty money into clean money as well.
00:06:01.284 --> 00:06:05.364
So there's quite a variety of things that are going on in Europe that I see.
00:06:05.804 --> 00:06:09.764
Indeed. And passing over to Italy, Andre, same question.
00:06:10.084 --> 00:06:14.624
Well, in Italy, I would say that the most common type of insurance fraud are
00:06:14.624 --> 00:06:22.164
in the modern sector, and they typically occur in high-frequency, low-value cases.
00:06:23.564 --> 00:06:29.224
As I was saying before, as I mentioned before, we have seen an increase in the
00:06:29.224 --> 00:06:35.784
recent year in other kind of businesses, especially personal injury and road accidents,
00:06:36.484 --> 00:06:43.144
property damage, and vehicle theft, which are quite expanding in the recent years.
00:06:43.144 --> 00:06:48.584
And I would like to share you an example of insurance fraud claims that grabbed
00:06:48.584 --> 00:06:52.164
the headlines of the leading Italian newspapers.
00:06:52.704 --> 00:06:54.904
Because quite recently, in
00:06:54.904 --> 00:07:01.184
2019, a criminal organization, which was composed of at least 34 members,
00:07:01.564 --> 00:07:06.884
was specialized in insurance fraud carried out through the mutilation,
00:07:07.064 --> 00:07:11.724
the deliberate mutilation of claims of compliant victims. And it was a very important thing.
00:07:13.057 --> 00:07:19.217
And this is an example that I want to share because it is one of the first times
00:07:19.217 --> 00:07:28.697
that an insurance fraud activity had been dealt with also by the national newspapers.
00:07:29.217 --> 00:07:37.177
Because as I mentioned before, in Italy, our market is not as mature as it is in the UK and in France.
00:07:37.477 --> 00:07:41.677
We have also many cultural aspects involved in this.
00:07:43.057 --> 00:07:50.937
So it is important for Italy that fraudulent activities are advised.
00:07:51.277 --> 00:07:56.197
So as I was saying also before, this is an aspect which is quite relevant because
00:07:56.197 --> 00:08:03.057
we do not want criminal organization and gang members to put their hands also
00:08:03.057 --> 00:08:09.817
on insurance fraud activities because they have almost unlimited access to money,
00:08:10.257 --> 00:08:12.417
to artificial intelligence technologies,
00:08:13.057 --> 00:08:14.577
Over to you in France, Roman.
00:08:15.157 --> 00:08:21.617
One of the most common areas for insurance fraud is the construction industry.
00:08:22.446 --> 00:08:28.366
As I mentioned, in France, construction companies need to have a number of mandatory
00:08:28.366 --> 00:08:31.406
coverages to carry out their activities.
00:08:31.786 --> 00:08:38.286
For example, decennial warranty or the coverage of reimbursement of advances, etc.
00:08:39.046 --> 00:08:44.966
And when some of these businesses cannot find this kind of coverage,
00:08:45.366 --> 00:08:51.946
they tend to forge insurance certificates, either to use certificates they had
00:08:51.946 --> 00:08:58.506
in the past or to use third-party insurance certificates to pretend they still
00:08:58.506 --> 00:09:01.306
do benefit from this mandatory coverage.
00:09:02.466 --> 00:09:07.786
So that's a kind of case where I can turn on a weekly basis for our clients here.
00:09:08.006 --> 00:09:14.326
So the construction industry is really very exposed to insurance fraud.
00:09:14.326 --> 00:09:20.046
I would say there is another sector which deserves specific attention,
00:09:20.426 --> 00:09:25.606
which is insurance intermediaries, because in a number of cases,
00:09:26.086 --> 00:09:33.206
insurance intermediaries are not very transparent on the information they receive
00:09:33.206 --> 00:09:39.946
from the insured and do not always transfer them accurately to the insurance.
00:09:39.946 --> 00:09:47.046
And try in the meantime to make money on the premium or to take commitments
00:09:47.046 --> 00:09:50.846
that insurers are not aware of.
00:09:50.946 --> 00:09:55.986
Ben, we all know that data is so important to detection of fraud.
00:09:56.606 --> 00:10:01.326
How comprehensive is the data on insurance fraud in your jurisdiction?
00:10:01.786 --> 00:10:07.126
For which insurance lines is data collected? And do you think there's more that
00:10:07.126 --> 00:10:08.746
we can be doing in this area?
00:10:10.230 --> 00:10:16.270
Yeah, I think if you look at the data that we get from the IFB.
00:10:17.650 --> 00:10:20.330
There's quite a lot of data around certain lines.
00:10:20.590 --> 00:10:25.310
So you get a lot of data around motor accidents, casualty claims,
00:10:25.490 --> 00:10:29.590
property, a bit on travel and that sort of thing.
00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:35.130
But generally, I think data is quite poor when it comes to commercial lines
00:10:35.130 --> 00:10:39.930
of business and particularly cross-jurisdictional data as well.
00:10:40.230 --> 00:10:46.790
It's quite hard to get data when exposures are in other jurisdictions,
00:10:47.270 --> 00:10:50.870
and particularly with specialist lines of business as well.
00:10:50.990 --> 00:10:57.330
So if you're looking at marine or something like that, it's very difficult to get that data.
00:10:57.610 --> 00:11:00.550
So there could be a lot more done there.
00:11:00.550 --> 00:11:09.210
And I think one area that was highlighted recently when I was listening to the Lamptience podcast.
00:11:10.310 --> 00:11:13.970
They were trying to do an evaluation of the trend
00:11:13.970 --> 00:11:17.450
of EV thefts and comparing
00:11:17.450 --> 00:11:22.910
that to other vehicles and seeing why it might be different but the problem
00:11:22.910 --> 00:11:26.670
they had was that there just wasn't the quality of the data there even though
00:11:26.670 --> 00:11:31.290
it was a motor line of business they still didn't have the data So I think there's
00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:34.430
an awful lot that needs to be done in that regard.
00:11:34.750 --> 00:11:38.170
And it's interesting that you say that, you know, it's in the mainstream,
00:11:38.530 --> 00:11:43.590
sort of the property casualty motor areas that we've come on an awful lot with
00:11:43.590 --> 00:11:46.490
the collection of data, but not so much in the commercial lines.
00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:50.990
Over to Roman, where is France in all of this?
00:11:52.849 --> 00:11:58.489
I think in the UK, the overall amount of fraud is about 5 billion, right?
00:11:58.789 --> 00:12:03.049
So the amount of identified frauds, if I'm correct, Lorraine or Ben.
00:12:03.829 --> 00:12:08.149
I think in France, the latest data we have come from the Alpha,
00:12:08.389 --> 00:12:11.009
the Association for Fighting Intrance Fraud.
00:12:11.209 --> 00:12:13.409
It dates back to 2024.
00:12:14.069 --> 00:12:21.169
And according to them, the total amount of fraud in France was 900 million euros.
00:12:23.389 --> 00:12:28.609
Including $650 million for casualty and property, and the rest of it,
00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:32.509
about $250 million for life insurance and health insurance.
00:12:32.889 --> 00:12:39.849
So it leads me to believe that the data in France is not totally accurate because
00:12:39.849 --> 00:12:41.689
I can't see that the amount of
00:12:41.689 --> 00:12:46.649
fraud in the UK could be five times more important than it is in France,
00:12:46.649 --> 00:12:51.649
and there's still a huge challenge in trying to collect the data.
00:12:52.049 --> 00:12:59.009
Another interesting data I came across was the data from Belgium in which fraud
00:12:59.009 --> 00:13:06.369
went up from 6,000 to 7,000 cases according to Asuralia, the Belgian Insurance Association.
00:13:06.949 --> 00:13:12.049
So I think the rise in insurance fraud is not specific to one jurisdiction in
00:13:12.049 --> 00:13:15.569
continental Europe, but it's a more general trend.
00:13:15.569 --> 00:13:20.409
And according to the French Insurer Association, that would represent about
00:13:20.409 --> 00:13:25.349
3% to 4% of the amount of the indemnities paid over a year.
00:13:26.689 --> 00:13:29.869
And Roman, can I stay with you on that? Because you talked about,
00:13:29.929 --> 00:13:31.829
you know, the data may not be accurate.
00:13:32.569 --> 00:13:38.029
And that's obviously a very big challenge. So what are the challenges around
00:13:38.029 --> 00:13:42.669
collecting and sharing the fraud data across Europe and the UK?
00:13:44.520 --> 00:13:50.300
I think the system for going after fraud is very different in each jurisdiction.
00:13:50.660 --> 00:13:56.720
So that's why it has impact on the overall view you can have on the data in this respect.
00:13:57.220 --> 00:14:02.180
You tell me what is it in the UK, in France, you have to file a criminal complaint,
00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:06.180
for example, if you have identified an insurance fraud.
00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:10.220
And until very recently, this was a quite formalistic process.
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.440
So many of the insurers didn't want to go through that process for each case
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:21.700
they identified so that's why we have a whole part which is actually below the radar.
00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:27.680
And actually according to new reforms you can now file a criminal complaint
00:14:27.680 --> 00:14:33.620
online and I'm hopeful that it will help the process for insurers to actually
00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:39.660
raise issues in relation to fraud and also to have more digitalized data to
00:14:39.660 --> 00:14:42.160
dig through in the future.
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:46.800
So if you have many, many different data about fraud, for example,
00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:52.900
you can see that it affects more regions than another specific category of vehicle, as Ben mentioned.
00:14:53.340 --> 00:15:00.360
And that would indeed help after that in having a red flag at the time of managing losses, etc.
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:06.040
And Ben, any views or observations on what Roman's just said? Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:06.576 --> 00:15:11.016
I think fundamentally the issue is that if you don't have the data,
00:15:11.376 --> 00:15:16.456
then the legislators don't understand the extent of the problem and therefore
00:15:16.456 --> 00:15:25.116
not give sufficient priority to different legislation or strategies to deal with insurance fraud.
00:15:25.276 --> 00:15:27.576
So this area is really important.
00:15:27.916 --> 00:15:35.516
And one of the things that's been mentioned, I think, is in relation to the
00:15:35.516 --> 00:15:36.736
way in which data is captured.
00:15:36.996 --> 00:15:42.796
So in England and Wales, we can provide data on suspected fraudsters.
00:15:44.516 --> 00:15:49.376
We can have proven fraud, but proven fraud might be different to proven fraud in France.
00:15:50.716 --> 00:15:57.676
So when you're looking at sharing data, one of the problems is around the uniformity of the data.
00:15:58.016 --> 00:16:00.856
So are you measuring fraud by the same yardstick?
00:16:01.516 --> 00:16:08.016
Are you calling it the same names exaggeration or staged or what have you do,
00:16:08.872 --> 00:16:12.772
Are you able to compare it like for like because it's measured in the same way?
00:16:13.332 --> 00:16:19.352
But I think until we're able to capture that type of data, I don't think that
00:16:19.352 --> 00:16:25.252
the full extent of fraud in the UK and Europe will be fully understood.
00:16:25.992 --> 00:16:30.212
Agreed. And Andre, what's your view from Italy?
00:16:30.832 --> 00:16:37.152
I wanted just to add something about this because I think the real key point
00:16:37.152 --> 00:16:42.212
of all this discussion is the gathering of data, as Ben and Roman were saying.
00:16:43.352 --> 00:16:48.472
And a problem that we're facing in Italy is that insurance companies are currently
00:16:48.472 --> 00:16:55.052
highly investing on advanced tools, so intelligence, artificial intelligence.
00:16:55.452 --> 00:17:03.892
But if we do not have uniform datas and good quality datas, also these investments
00:17:03.892 --> 00:17:07.572
have no real impacts on counter-fraud activities.
00:17:07.572 --> 00:17:12.092
So I think this is the key point that we must.
00:17:13.895 --> 00:17:20.155
Advertise in the coming years at an international level, not just at a national level.
00:17:21.495 --> 00:17:24.575
And Ben, do you think that it's going to be possible to have that uniformity
00:17:24.575 --> 00:17:25.855
across all jurisdictions?
00:17:28.435 --> 00:17:31.255
I think at the moment, probably not.
00:17:32.295 --> 00:17:35.995
As I say, I don't think that different countries
00:17:35.995 --> 00:17:39.475
um possibly appreciate the
00:17:39.475 --> 00:17:42.695
extent of fraud and how it's impacting customers
00:17:42.695 --> 00:17:45.755
um so yeah it's
00:17:45.755 --> 00:17:49.515
quite tricky like i said it's a bit of a catch-22 um um
00:17:49.515 --> 00:17:54.795
you need to um try and explain the problem but you don't have the data to do
00:17:54.795 --> 00:18:01.235
it but yeah it's very tricky but um i think there's a lot of will um when you
00:18:01.235 --> 00:18:05.755
speak to different insurers in different countries um people are work in our
00:18:05.755 --> 00:18:07.495
field in fraud detection.
00:18:08.955 --> 00:18:12.995
Everyone's got the will to work together and to do something about it.
00:18:13.155 --> 00:18:20.055
So hopefully that means that we will get a bit closer to joining up a bit more in that regard.
00:18:20.415 --> 00:18:23.875
And staying with your point. Apologies, Lorraine. In this respect,
00:18:24.075 --> 00:18:29.975
there is a very interesting recent survey conducted by ANIA in Italy.
00:18:30.155 --> 00:18:36.815
We show that 72% of respondents here in Italy believe that there is no correlation
00:18:36.815 --> 00:18:41.235
between the insurance premium that they pay and fraud.
00:18:42.135 --> 00:18:49.475
So only 50% of respondents understands that the honest policyholders are paying
00:18:49.475 --> 00:18:53.155
also for those who defraud insurance companies.
00:18:53.495 --> 00:18:59.715
So just to give you some numbers and an idea of the differences between countries,
00:18:59.735 --> 00:19:02.795
I think in the UK the numbers are.
00:19:03.750 --> 00:19:07.350
Very, very different from the ones I just showed you.
00:19:08.110 --> 00:19:11.050
So this to me confirms that there
00:19:11.050 --> 00:19:17.350
is still much to do to have uniform data between different countries.
00:19:17.910 --> 00:19:24.130
Yeah, agreed. And just picking up on the point about sort of impact and regulatory
00:19:24.130 --> 00:19:29.090
impact on fraud detection and collaboration,
00:19:29.090 --> 00:19:34.870
How do the GDPR and data protection regulations, in your view,
00:19:35.030 --> 00:19:38.650
impact the detection and collaboration in your jurisdictions?
00:19:38.910 --> 00:19:40.830
And I'll go to Romain first in France.
00:19:41.290 --> 00:19:48.190
So there is an obvious contradiction between the rules on the protection of
00:19:48.190 --> 00:19:53.270
personal data and the need to process all this data by insurance to fight fraud.
00:19:53.270 --> 00:19:59.250
Actually, in France, it was handled by way of a decision of the CNIL,
00:19:59.390 --> 00:20:03.470
the authority in charge of overseeing rules on data protection,
00:20:04.010 --> 00:20:10.430
quite a long time ago, because it was in 2014 that the CNIL issued an opinion
00:20:10.430 --> 00:20:18.030
actually classifying the fight against insurance fraud as a legitimate purpose
00:20:18.030 --> 00:20:19.590
for processing personal data.
00:20:20.530 --> 00:20:26.250
So there is a legal basis for insurers to actually process personal data they
00:20:26.250 --> 00:20:32.110
collect to make sure they are efficiently fighting insurance fraud.
00:20:32.250 --> 00:20:37.430
Of course, this is subject to a number of coverets and rules and restrictions,
00:20:37.850 --> 00:20:42.070
but they are allowed, for example, to cross-reference their different databases,
00:20:42.350 --> 00:20:50.890
etc., and to create actually a list of suspicious insurers on the basis of this regulation.
00:20:51.230 --> 00:20:58.330
So there is a way for insurers to use this, of course, with some regulatory framework.
00:20:59.110 --> 00:21:01.330
And Ben, in your view…,
00:21:01.994 --> 00:21:06.094
Yeah, I think from an outsider's perspective,
00:21:06.554 --> 00:21:14.074
it seems to me like even though GDPR comes from the same European directives,
00:21:14.374 --> 00:21:21.734
we've all applied it seemingly quite differently in the way that it's actually
00:21:21.734 --> 00:21:24.114
utilised in day-to-day life.
00:21:24.974 --> 00:21:28.654
When you look at it, a lot of them read the same,
00:21:28.934 --> 00:21:38.894
but it seems culturally there's a lot more reticence to investigate who an individual
00:21:38.894 --> 00:21:43.754
might be or that sort of thing because of a fear maybe of an information commissioner.
00:21:43.754 --> 00:21:49.974
I think it was quite useful in the UK that we had a note from our Information
00:21:49.974 --> 00:21:55.954
Commissioner to remind people that they are allowed to investigate entities
00:21:55.954 --> 00:21:57.654
for prevention of fraud.
00:21:57.654 --> 00:22:00.714
Um so that was really good but there are
00:22:00.714 --> 00:22:07.474
jurisdictions that i see where um even the the basic kyc checks are difficult
00:22:07.474 --> 00:22:12.714
because they're concerned about um infringing somebody's uh personal rights
00:22:12.714 --> 00:22:19.674
when in fact also you you are protecting customers by by doing that and i think um.
00:22:20.881 --> 00:22:23.861
I dare say in the UK, I think we've got a really good balance there.
00:22:24.661 --> 00:22:29.821
I don't feel like we have our hands tied when we're trying to investigate thoroughly,
00:22:30.601 --> 00:22:35.021
but still we are reminded of our responsibility to protect our customers' data as well.
00:22:35.201 --> 00:22:40.021
So unless we're able to get past that, I think it really hinders the ability
00:22:40.021 --> 00:22:45.521
to properly investigate and also share data. So it's quite a big problem.
00:22:46.481 --> 00:22:49.761
Andre, your view from the Italian perspective?
00:22:49.761 --> 00:22:52.821
From an italian perspective i feel
00:22:52.821 --> 00:22:55.681
like we have not the same balance that ben
00:22:55.681 --> 00:22:58.581
was talking about when referring to to
00:22:58.581 --> 00:23:01.681
the uk because actually the italian guarantor
00:23:01.681 --> 00:23:09.061
of privacy is interpreting and applying the gdpr in quite a strictly way and
00:23:09.061 --> 00:23:14.521
in my view these the constraints are directly affecting fraud detection in italy
00:23:14.521 --> 00:23:20.641
we have data minimization we have purpose limitation We have further retention limits.
00:23:21.801 --> 00:23:28.061
And for a country like Italy, which, let me say, has not such a culture,
00:23:28.441 --> 00:23:34.241
such an experience when it comes to counter fraud, this is quite, quite limiting.
00:23:34.741 --> 00:23:39.601
So I think also from a legal and legislative perspective, there is much more
00:23:39.601 --> 00:23:42.881
to do in our country in the coming years.
00:23:42.881 --> 00:23:47.881
Of course, there are also European concerns, so it does not depend so lately
00:23:47.881 --> 00:23:52.681
on Italy, but I think this is one of the further key points that we will have
00:23:52.681 --> 00:23:54.721
to work on in the upcoming years.
00:23:55.901 --> 00:23:59.661
