This book offers a detailed overview of the rules regarding criminal investigations into financial-economic criminality in the EU’s main legal systems. These rules have become fundamental to the effective protection of the Union’s financial interests. It undertakes a comparative study of six national legislatures (Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, and the UK) which serve as paradigms of the different judicial systems existing in the Union, in order to offer a complete overview of the different approaches to financial-economic investigation in the EU. The work is further enriched with cross-sectional essays that deal with more general issues, such as data-protection and the future of investigations in the view of the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). This provides a wider perspective on the themes considered. The book also examines transnational issues, providing essential context to the EU’s legislative instruments intended to protect the financial interests of the Union.
