TunisiaEurojust brings together largest meeting ever of prosecutors combatting migrant smuggling
Eurojust hosted the largest meeting ever of prosecutors who specialise in tackling migrant smuggling on 19-20 October. The Eurojust Annual Meeting on Migrant Smuggling focuses on how to investigate the financial streams behind criminal networks and the effects of the war in Ukraine. In addition to participants from all EU Member States, prosecutors from the Western Balkans, Western Africa and the South Partner Countries (SPCs) shared experiences and best practices during the meeting.
Furthermore, the implementation of the renewed EU Action Plain against Migrant Smuggling was presented. International cooperation is key, hence this annual meeting gathered the widest range of international practitioners, following the ‘whole-of-the-route’ approach.
The Focus Group on Migrant Smuggling also presented its results and working methods. This group was established in 2020 to enable the exchange of information and best practices between specialised prosecutors. In less than two years, the Focus Group has gathered more than 45 practitioners from the EU and third countries, specialised in the fight against migrant smuggling.
