Notes
The Bavarian Interior Ministry's answer to Drucksache 19/8183 (23 September 2025) lists Chainalysis Reactor, used at the Bayerisches Landeskriminalamt, among the tools that partly work with AI support for pattern analysis, in regular operation since 2021, with licence costs of 551,477.52 euros in 2024. The answer does not describe in detail how the AI component works. The same answer states that algorithms for risk prediction (predictive policing) are not used in Bavaria.
