Seventh plenary meeting of the European Judicial Cybercrime Network

How do you apply legal provisions, drafted for traditional crime, to criminality reflecting a globally connected cyber-environment? Many prosecutors are grappling with this challenge. The seventh plenary meeting of the European Judicial Cybercrime Network (EJCN), held on 14 and 15 November at Eurojust, addressed that issue and many others.

The meeting was opened by Mr Klaus Meyer-Cabri, Eurojust Vice-President.

The first session related to the use of joint investigation teams (JITs) in cybercrime investigations, with JIT Bruno (a 2018 Romanian and Italian spear phishing case) as an example.

Other presentations focused on the use of facial recognition technologies in criminal investigations, current trends and challenges, and the spontaneous exchange of information in accordance with the Budapest Convention. Updates were provided by Eurojust, Europol, the European Judicial Network and the European Commission.
