Issue 4/2024 of the online journal eucrim now available
eucrim is an online journal that offers a Europe-wide platform for European “crimistrative” law and invites both practitioners and academics to engage in discussion.
Since its creation in 1999, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has uncovered around €16 billion that would otherwise have been lost to irregularities or fraud, and the Office has considerably changed the way it handles cross-border investigations. In this special anniversary issue, OLAF staff members provide insight into various significant areas of OLAF's work over the past 25 years as well as on aspects on what lies ahead: contributions range from an overview of OLAF's trajectory, including the influential case law of the European Court of Justice; OLAF's digital transformation from its humble digital beginnings to today's “digital first” approach; the progressive evolution of procedural guarantees in OLAF investigations; OLAF's unique activities in establishing international relations; and the successful history of the Hercule Programme, which has been financially supporting actions pertaining to the protection of the EU's financial interests for two decades.
