Fighting Financial Crime in Europe: Practical aspects of a pan European criminal law
Cambridge 21st - 22nd September 2009
Are we inexorably heading towards a European criminal law ? What safeguards exist for the Defence in pan European investigations ? How does OLAF, the Community’s 10 year old anti fraud unit, go about its business ? What can we do to combat and reduce fraud in Europe ? Will the new European Evidence Warrant help – and how will it work ?
These questions and many others were debated by practitioners, academics and policymakers from the UK and other Member States of the European Union, including:
