A Ministry press release says that Ministers will discuss the fight of organised crime in the digital era and the need for judicial and law enforcement agencies to have access to electronic evidence.
Moreover, they will discuss judicial cooperation and the transfer of criminal proceedings among member states, when necessary.
Finally, Ministers will look into the repercussions of the war in Ukraine in the Union’s internal security and will exchange views on prosecution mechanisms in the member states for people committing war crimes.
