Keywords:
investigation, joint, team, directive, decision, framework decision, convention, transnational, crimeAbstract
This article provides an in-depth analysis of an important legal mechanism aimed at strengthening interstate cooperation in the European region - the creation and functioning of joint investigation teams. This mechanism is gaining increasing importance as an effective tool in combating transnational crime. The author details the procedure for establishing joint investigation teams, their composition, and operational principles. The article highlights the specific aspects of cooperation between law enforcement representatives from various states, as well as potential difficulties that may arise in this process and ways to overcome them. Based on the experience of European countries, the article develops a series of recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of joint investigation teams. In particular, concrete proposals are put forward to improve the legal framework, enhance information exchange systems, and boost personnel capacity. This scientific article contains interesting and useful information for specialists in international law, criminal law, and criminology, law enforcement officers, as well as researchers dealing with issues of international cooperation.
