Kata Németh: The current developments in European criminal cooperation - present and future potential competences of the European Public Prosecutor's Office- Nr. 2025/12.
This paper examines the establishment and evolving role of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) in safeguarding the financial interests of the European Union. It highlights the crucial challenges the EPPO faces, particularly regarding cybercrime and the cross-border nature of modern offenses involving EU funds and financial interest. In evaluating the added value of the EPPO, the analysis assesses its jurisdictional deficiencies and potential for expansion of competences into areas such as cyber-enabled fraud and related organized crime. The paper underlines the necessity for increased harmonization of substantive criminal laws among Member States to advocate the EPPO’s effectiveness. Finally, it proposes possible reforms to strengthen investigative capacities and asset recovery, positioning the EPPO as a frontline actor in European criminal cooperation.
