Poland Joins European Public Prosecutor's Office: New Rules for Fighting EU Financial Crimes
The Act introduces changes in Polish law to enable Poland's participation in enhanced cooperation within the European Public Prosecutor's Office. This means a special European institution, with the participation of Polish prosecutors, will handle the prosecution of financial crimes against the European Union budget, such as fraud or corruption. The changes concern, among other things, the status of prosecutors working in this structure and the rules of cooperation between Polish services and the European Public Prosecutor's Office.
