BACA, Werner Miguel Kühn. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office - The protection of the EU’s financial interests as supranational integration project. Rev. secr. Trib. perm. revis. [online]. 2023, vol.11, n.20, e496. Epub 19-Jun-2023. ISSN 2304-7887. https://doi.org/10.16890/rstpr.a11.n20.e496.
Abstract: This article provides an overview of the powers of the recently created European Public Prosecutor’s Office, a supranational body that investigates and prosecutes criminal offenses affecting the financial interests of the European Union (“EU”). Various aspects related to the criminal procedure and substantive criminal law will be discussed in order to explain how the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is imbedded in the national judicial systems despite its supranational origin. Among the issues to be examined will be the requirement to prosecute crime efficiently, while ensuring that the procedural rights of the suspects and the prosecuted persons are duly respected. Particular attention will be paid to cooperation with other EU entities and national authorities both in the Member States and in third countries. The elements contained in this article will allow the reader to assess whether the European Public Prosecutor’s Office has met the objectives set by the EU legislator.
