Abstract: 

             In a significant step to strengthen Europe’s response to organized crime, Eurojust, the EU’s judicial cooperation agency, has launched the European Judicial Organised Crime Network (EJOCN). This new network will bring together specialized prosecutors from all 27 EU Member States, aiming to tackle the evolving and increasingly transnational nature of organized crime. With its focus on drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking, and other illicit activities, the EJOCN represents a coordinated and strategic approach to dismantling criminal networks that operate across borders.
