Abstract:
Organized crime is one of the main threats to the security of the European Union and can cause serious social and economic damages. In order to prevent this phenomenon and avoid its rapid expansion, further proactive measures are needed to combat and prevent. At present, organized crime takes advantage of certain legal breaches, which makes it difficult for the competent bodies, to combat the scourge, to react quickly against criminal groups who use highly developed methods to hide their activities and products from criminal offences, taking advantage of globalization and using information and communication technologies. Organized crime is a crucial issue in many EU Member States as it represents a major threat to the rule of law and has very serious consequences for victims, for the economy and for the social development. According to the latest studies, over 3600 organized crime groups are active in Europe.
