A revolution of its kind, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) is the first supranational  financial prosecutorial organisation with jurisdiction over individuals and companies accused of offences against the financial interest of the European Union (EU). As an independent body, the EPPO can conduct investigations in one or several of the 24 out of 27 participating EU Member 
States when offences are committed and can prosecute in the State of its choice. By 31 December  2024, the EPPO had 2,666 active investigations for an estimated damage of over €24.8 billion. Most 
of the crime reports received by the EPPO have come from private parties. Civil plaintiffs may appear in their proceedings. 

Companies and individuals worldwide that would engage in unlawful activities when dealing with the  EU need to understand that this is an authority to count with. With experts from Europe and beyond,  the panel will address the leading role taken by the EPPO in global financial prosecution, its challenges, future and its ever-growing interactions with the rest of the world.
