European Union Establishes the European Public Prosecutor’s Office

On October 12, 2017, the Regulation establishing the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) was adopted by those Member States which are part of the EPPO “enhanced cooperation.” The EPPO will be in charge of investigating, prosecuting and bringing to justice the perpetrators of offences against the Union's financial interests. It will bring together European and national law-enforcement efforts to counter EU fraud.
