The recently operationalized structure of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, with competences in preventing and combating the criminal phenomenon regarding the fraud of European funds, should attract the attention of the business environment: direct or indirect beneficiaries of these funds or people with public and private positions who manages the funds of the Union.

It is certain that we are already talking about a paradigm shift in terms of the protection of the financial interests of the Union, accompanied by a clear statement in the sense that the activity of preventing and combating the criminal phenomenon was insufficient at the level of the Member States.

In this context, investigations with criminal consequences will increase exponentially under the monitoring of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, as we can already see by reporting on the activities carried out in Romania at the end of last year and the beginning of this year.

What are its competences, how the institution is organized, what types of crimes will be investigated by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and what are our recommendations for the business environment, as well as any other people who manage EU funds, we invite you to read in the article signed by our colleague, attorney Mihai Morar, invited by Piața Financiară magazine.
