Eurojust will be able to step up the fight against globally operating organised crime groups (OCGs) as a direct result of a Working Arrangement with the Ibero-American Association of Public Prosecutors Offices (AIAMP). The Arrangement enables Eurojust to establish new Contact Points with the AIAMP networks, which focus on combatting criminal activities such as drugs trafficking, cybercrime, environmental crime and migrant smuggling. This gives the Agency and national judicial authorities better access to specialised Latin American prosecution services.<\/p>\n

The Arrangement was signed by Eurojust Vice-President Mr Bo\u0161tjan \u0160krlec, Mr Jorge Abbott Charme, Prosecutor General of Chile, representing the current AIAMP Presidency, and Colombian Prosecutor General Mr Francisco Barbosa Delgado, for the incoming Presidency. The signature took place last Friday during the General Assembly of AIAMP in Cartagena, Colombia.<\/p>\n

Eurojust Vice-President Mr Bo\u0161tjan \u0160krlec stated:\u00a0Large-scale criminal organisations are increasingly operating on a global level. This Working Arrangement is a major step forward for the judiciary in the European Union and Latin America to counter this phenomenon of intercontinental organised crime, which has such an extremely negative and undermining effect on our societies. We look forward to further enhancing our already good cooperation in the fight against these global criminal networks.<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n
