The European Commissioner Brunner meets the Euro Just Presidency | Euro right

During the visit, Euro Just President Michael Schmid and Commissioner Brunner discussed the risk of organized crimes for European citizens. If organized crime becomes more professional and global, the authorities must keep up and work together. Euro Just offers prosecutors practically for cooperation at cross -border investigations. In 2024, almost 13,000 criminal investigations by Euro Just received support, which led to freezing assets of more than 1 billion euros and over 1,000 arrests.

In addition to the daily support of criminal investigations, EuroJust also ensures that prosecutors and judges strategically work together on common threats and challenges. Mr. Schmid presented two euro -judicial networks, the European Network of Justice (EJOCN) and the European Justice Cyber ​​Crime Network (EJCN). These networks ensure that specialized prosecutors are combined, exchange expertise and cooperate.

After the visit that the Euro Just President Michael Schmid said: While we are preparing for the EU's new strategy of the EU's internal security insurance, I am pleased to highlight the judicial dimension of the cross -border security cooperation with Commissioner Brunner alongside the most important work of the police forces. It is crucial not only to temporarily disrupt the work of organized crime networks, but also to ensure that criminals are brought to court. In 2024 alone, Euro Just supported almost 13,000 ongoing investigations across Europe. I am grateful for the opportunity to discuss the way with Commissioner Brunner and to greet his leadership to strengthen the internal security of the EU.

The visit of Commissioner Brunner concluded with a discussion about the cooperation of the criminal judiciary outside the European Union. Since criminal networks create stronger bonds worldwide, prosecutors must be able to work quickly and efficiently and without hurdles with their colleagues around the world. Euro Just builds a strong network of partners around the world. A network of over 70 contact points and a growing number of liaison lawyers stationed in Haag ensure that cross -border investigations take place easily and with trust between prosecutors.
