Europol uses Palantir

Since 2016, the European Police Agency has been using the "Gotham" software to evaluate mass data. Europol has signed a contract for 7.5 million euros with the company Capgemini in 2012, just over half of the money has already been spent. Palantir promoted the software at the "European Police Congress".

The police agency Europol in The Hague has been running the "Gotham" software of the US concern Palantir for several years. This is what the European Commission writes in its answer to a parliamentary question. The application was tested in 2016 within the framework of the "Fraternité" task force, which Europol set up after the attacks in France at the time. Palantir is also criticised for his close cooperation with the military and secret services in the USA.

Since mid-2017, "Gotham" has been in continuous operation, Europol uses it for "operational analysis". This enables investigators to calculate and visualize relationships between people, objects or the course of events. "Structured data", such as contact lists, tables from radio cell queries and travel histories, are linked with "unstructured data" such as photos or location data. This so-called mass data evaluation is intended to generate new investigative approaches.
