Since it began operations in June 2021, the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has established itself as the central authority for prosecuting offenses detrimental to the financial interests of the EU.
The second edition of this commentary on the EPPO Regulation reflects all current developments and landmark judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union, including:
• the EPPO's Rules of Procedure
• relevant CJEU case law concerning the EPPO, in particular
• o judgment C-281/22 on cross-border investigative measures, and
• o judgment C-292/23 on legal protection against investigative measures
• further College decisions on internal procedural rules and guidelines,
The volume also outlines considerations for a future extension of the EPPO's mandate and for improving its legal framework.
New in this edition: practice-oriented country reports on the Member States participating in the establishment of the EPPO. These contributions provide a thorough and practice-focused analysis of how the EPPO is integrated into national criminal justice systems.
The commentary addresses criminal law practitioners - including prosecutors, law enforcement authorities, courts, and law firms - and also serves as a reliable resource for academic research on the EPPO.
