Australian Priority Organisation Target

Add article description

The Australian Priority Organisation Target (APOT) is a classification used by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission to group threats considered most significant to Australia's organised crime environment.[1] Members of the classification include money launderers and drug traffickers.[2] As such, the list is very limited, with just eight targets added to the list in 2017-18.[3] In February 2020 it was revealed that the vice-president of Crown Resorts had personally authorized a transaction of AUD$500,000 to an APOT and withheld details of the transaction from authorities.[4]
