The EU’s fight against organized crime

Seminar Mon 24 April 2023
time and place

Monday 24 April 2023, 10:00–11:15
SNS, Jakobsbergsgatan 18, Stockholm. Registration with coffe from 09:45.

How does the EU combat forms of crime that are becoming increasingly well-organized and transnational? This will be discussed at SNS by Ylva Johansson, EU commissioner, Johan Olsson, head of the Swedish Police Authority’s National Operations Department, and Cristina Latorre Sancho, ambassador of Spain to Sweden.

The EU has adopted a number of priorities for combating serious and organized crime. Combatting transnational organized crime is also one of Sweden’s prioritized areas during its current EU presidency. We also see collaborations between individual member states aimed at combatting crime. How do Swedish law enforcement agencies collaborate with their counterparts in other countries? Which are the greatest challenges and which tools do the police need?

The seminar is organized within the framework of the SNS research project Crime and Society.

The seminar will be conducted in English.
