The Evaluation of Police Cooperation between Hungary and Romania in the Fight against Cross-border Financial Criminal Activities
Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 21
Abstract
Cross-border crime is a component of organized crime, which can be defined as the totality of actions committed by criminal groups in several states, organized with the aim of undertaking illicit actions to obtain illegal profits at high levels. Globalization facilitates the spread of different forms of transnational organized crime, such as trafficking in human beings, arms, drugs, counterfeit of goods, illegal migration, smuggling, money laundering etc. It may be ascertained that today the transnational / cross-border organized crime represents one of the biggest threats to peace and to global, EU- and national security and the ubiquity of these threats justifies the development of various forms of police cooperation in the European Union. The current article evaluates the effectiveness of police cooperation in the fight against cross-border financial crime between Romania and Hungary, focusing mostly on the collaboration between the twin counties of Bihor and Hajdú-Bihar.
