Spearheading the European Union’s judicial response to the war in Ukraine, and digitalising criminal justice, were at the heart of Eurojust’s work in 2023, and will continue to be so. In 2023, the Agency fully delivered on its mandate to fight all serious cross-border crimes, handling more than 13 000 cases. Eurojust’s casework increased by 14% in 2023 compared to 2022.
Eurojust contributed to the arrest of more than 4 200 suspects and the seizure and freezing of criminal assets worth over EUR 1 billion. The Agency also contributed to the seizure of drugs worth almost EUR 26 billion, which represents more than double the amount it helped seize in 2022.
Reflecting the growing scale of the challenge, the number of victims affected by the cases handled by the Agency in 2023 increased by 12%, as did the number of cases involving organised crime groups. In 2023, Eurojust supported 9% more joint investigation teams than in 2022, illustrating national authorities’ trust in and reliance on the Agency’s services to facilitate judicial cooperation.
