EU action against serious crime
The European Union has made substantial progress on protecting its citizens since the early 1990s, often in response to dramatic incidents, such as mafia or other organised crime group murders, big money-laundering scandals, a steep increase in migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings following the 2015 migration crisis, and – most recently – a sharp rise in cybercrime, fraud and counterfeiting during the coronavirus pandemic. Nonetheless, criminal organisations continue to pose considerable risks to the internal security of the EU.
