Eurojust annual report reveals expansion of global judicial cooperation network
The European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) has published its Annual Report 2024, detailing a 60% increase in case workload over five years. The report outlines the launch of the European Judicial Organised Crime Network in September 2024 and new Working Arrangements with six Latin American countries. Eurojust handled 13,000 cross-border cases in 2024, resulting in 1,200 arrests and €1bn in frozen assets. The United Kingdom was notably one of the non-EU countries with the highest participation in Eurojust cases, emphasising its crucial role in cross-border judicial cooperation.
