Abstract: 

                On November 11, 2024, Eurojust announced its participation in a law enforcement operation, resulting in the indictment of thirty-eight persons and the seizure of 2,000 forged works of contemporary art.  The law enforcement takedown was the culmination of a one-and-one-half-year investigation by Italian authorities, working with Eurojust, Belgian, French, and Spanish counterparts.  The dismantling of the network prevented economic damage of € 200 million.[1]
