The RIPE NCC is actually active in that field, providing "bogus" information as an LIR has lead to the closure of LIRs:

And when it comes to the definition discussed in this thread:

The RIPE NCC has also been quite active in that aspect too:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-662#----1-1-registry-maintenance-----strategic-focus-point-2016

"1.1.6 Internet Number Resource Investigations, and Dispute and Hijacking Handling

Status: Decreasing  

Measurable usage: The RIPE NCC has investigated  252 potential hijacks since 2012. From 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015 the RIPE NCC handled 85 investigations. The RIPE NCC received and investigated 572 abuse reports from 1 July 2014 2014 to 30 June 2015."
