If you look at the purview of our mandate, most of the crimes that we investigate are white-collar crimes, the nonviolent crimes. But having to have aspects of the costs for these offenses leading to the loss of life, fatalities—it's a whole other level. And you could tell from the effect on the families of the victims, it just gives an extra motivation to get the job done properly.

We have in so many years and so many instances have to collaborate with, you know, law enforcement from different parts of the world for similar cases that, you know, are transnational. But there's never been a time like this where we find that within the same narrative of the case, someone has lost his life as a result of, you know, the actions of another person.

And, you know, it reinforces the need for us to really make a strong statement by making sure that the enforcement actions that are taken, that were taken in this particular case, were not just the highest, but also to send a very clear message that this country does not support such acts, as well as any other criminal act. And also to let the international community know that we are ready for the fight and we're ready to collaborate with all stakeholders and relevant partners in the fight against this ugly act that is raring its head at the moment.
