Background
One of the main challenges in fighting organised crime - apart from achieving the necessary political will in the countries – is the cross border nature of many organised crime groups. In order to effectively investigate and prosecute criminal groups, it is necessary to have strong regional cooperation between law enforcement and judicial bodies and to build effective networks between them. The project aims at improving Beneficiaries' capacities to carry out joint investigations and exchange information in prosecutions involving trans-border criminal organisations, thus combating organised crime and linked corruption cases with cross-border implications.
