New Europol Review 2011 published

Europol is pleased to announce the release of the Europol Review – a general report on its activities in the last year.

Europol’s core activity is to provide EU law enforcement authorities with 24/7 operational support to disrupt international criminal and terrorist networks. In 2011, Europol did this for more than 13 500 cross border cases – an increase of over 17% compared to the previous year.

Close cooperation with international law enforcement partners has resulted in many successful operations and organised crime network being dismantled. The Europol Review covers 24 of these operations, extending to every major crime area in Europol’s mandate.

Europol is increasingly recognised as a trusted and key cooperation partner for law enforcement and also an important contributor to the EU decision-making process and internal security strategy.
