Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Investigating European Fraud in the EU Member States by Edited by Professor Alessandro Bernardi Edited by Dr Daniele Negri
This book offers a detailed overview of the rules regarding criminal investigations into financial-economic criminality in the EUs main legal systems. These rules have become fundamental to the effective protection of the Unions financial interests. It undertakes a comparative study of six national legislatures (Italy Spain France Germany Poland the UK) which serve as paradigms of the different judicial systems existing in the Union in order to offer a complete overview of the different approaches to financial-economic investigation in the EU. The work is further enriched with cross-sectional essays that deal with the more general issues such as data-protection and the future of investigations in the view of the establishment of the European Public Prosecutors Office (or EPPO). This provides a wider perspective on the themes considered. The book also examines trans-national issues providing essential context to the EUs legislative instruments intended to protect the financial interests of the Union.show more
