The European Public Prosecutor's Office: A new dimension of European criminal law enforcement?

Having only taken office on 1 June 2021, the new European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO), the first supranational public prosecution authority, is already handling about 1200 cases. Tasked with investigating, prosecuting and bringing to justice crimes against the EU budget, the EPPO has the potential to take the effectiveness of European law enforcement to a new level.

In our webinar, we will focus on the following areas:

• What companies should know about the EPPO’s mission, competence and organisation
• Cross-border cooperation and the interplay between the EPPO and other EU bodies such as OLAF, Eurojust and Europol
• Practical implications for companies and criminal defence
