Combatting Drug Trafficking | Eurojust
Drug trafficking is one of the most lucrative revenue sources for international criminals: 50% of criminal networks active in the EU are involved in drug trafficking.
Criminals active in drug trafficking often resort to extreme violence, money laundering & other offences.
📈 Eurojust has been actively working with national authorities to combat these crimes. Since 2020, the number of drug trafficking cases at Eurojust have doubled. Last year, we had nearly 2500 cases, which led to the seizure of drugs worth more than EURO 25 billion.
The European Judicial Organised Crime Network - launched today at Eurojust - will prioritise combatting drug-related organised crime connected to European ports and other logistic hubs.
