An Operational Partnership Conference of the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) took place on 22 and 23 April. Prosecutors and financial investigators from the EPPO and investigators, forensic experts and analysts from OLAF gathered in Brussels to discuss their respective experiences and possible improvements almost three years after the start of EPPO operations.
More than 100 investigators and prosecutors explored how to build on successful examples, share best practices and swiftly tackle any practical challenges together when investigating complex cross-border fraud with EU funds. The conference was opened by Ville Itälä, Director-General of OLAF, and Laura Codruța Kövesi, European Chief Prosecutor.
