Key points on the Roundtable

Information technology was discussed during the roundtable if there have been whatsoever recent regulatory changes in fraud and White Neckband Crime. Geijo explains how the European Wedlock has strengthened its stance against these crimes: a notable development in this surface area includes the establishment of the EU Public Prosecutor's Office ("EPPO") , an independent trunk of the EU with the dominance to investigate, prosecute and bring to justice crimes confronting the Eu budget.

On the subject field of how COVID-19 has impacted fraud & white-collar offense, Gejo believes that the COVID-19 crisis has paved the fashion for new financial crime risks and typologies adapted to the current situation. For instance, COVID-19 has triggered a surge in counterfeit medical supplies and medicines, cybercrime (such as malware and ransomware), online and phone fraud seeking victims to provide payments details, or espionage.

Secondly, COVID-19 has had an affect on law enforcement activities because constabulary enforcement activities have equally been afflicted by decreased mobility and remote working and in full general all financial crime investigations and prosecutions have slowed downwardly.

Regarding the impact of Brexit on UK and European fraud & white-neckband crime efforts, Geijo thinks that law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters will be seriously impacted by Brexit. Both the UK and EU perceive this issue as a priority area, but at the moment the UE is working on guidelines to avoid money-laundering, the "Fith Coin Laundering Directive" that the Great britain doesn´t need to implement.
