In this exclusive session, District 4 Labs and Core4ce investigated the high-profile case of sanctioned former Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes, revealing verified links to transnational cartel operations, political corruption, sanctioned entities, and Hezbollah financing networks active in South America's Tri-Border Area and the United States. Using DARKSIDE, one of the world’s largest repositories of breached data and compromised records integrated into Cyberscape—a powerful cyber threat investigation platform—investigators uncovered critical personal and organizational connections essential to mapping and dismantling illicit networks across borders.

Experts during this session demonstrated how this integrated intelligence revealed personally identifiable information and financial records, exposing the logistical and financial infrastructure sustaining international criminal enterprises. Participants also learned how Core4ce’s analytics platform Cyberscape, alongside DARKSIDE, delivered actionable insights to law enforcement and national security stakeholders to support U.S. border protection efforts, align with national security priorities, and enhance intelligence-driven investigations of high-priority threats.

During this webinar, the discussion included:

• Mapping cartel networks, political protection, and terrorism financing through dark web intelligence

• Leveraging data to expose sanctioned actors such as Horacio Cartes, Assad Ahmad Barakat, and affiliated entities

• Enabling cross-agency collaboration through integrated platforms and investigative tools

Attendees discovered how DARKSIDE’s integration with Cyberscape empowered agencies to disrupt criminal networks with greater precision, driving smarter, intelligence-led operations that strengthened national security and secured borders.
