Transnational Organized Crime in the Pacific: Expansion, Challenges and Impact https://lnkd.in/gN5_c9Wy UNODC report exposes escalating threat of organized crime in the Pacific

📢 European Prosecutors Join Forces to Combat Organised Crime 📢 On 25 September 2024, a major milestone was reached with the launch of the European Judicial Organised Crime Network (EJOCN), hosted by Eurojust. This new network brings together specialised prosecutors from all 27 EU Member States to strategically combat organised crime across Europe, addressing issues like drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, and money laundering. With 76% of criminal groups operating in multiple countries and profits from illicit activities estimated at €139 billion annually, the need for international coordination has never been more critical. The EJOCN aims to strengthen judicial cooperation, helping prosecutors tackle recurring challenges and exploit new opportunities to take down criminal networks. The network’s first priority? Targeting drug-related organised crime at European ports—key hubs for illicit trafficking. With 70% of drug seizures taking place in ports, it's clear this is one of the most lucrative activities for criminal networks in the EU. 💬 Eurojust President Ladislav Hamran: “Organised crime knows no borders, but neither does our resolve to investigate and prosecute. With the EJOCN, we are stepping up our fight to protect justice and security for all EU citizens.” This launch marks a significant step forward in the fight against transnational crime, ensuring stronger cooperation between judicial authorities across Europe. This milestone aligns perfectly with the objectives of the ASIT project, as we continue to develop digital tools and build capacity to combat human trafficking and other forms of organised crime. Through initiatives like EJOCN and ASIT, we’re reinforcing cross-border cooperation and leveraging innovation to dismantle criminal networks and protect vulnerable populations across Europe.
