A European Public Prosecutor Office against Eurofinancial Crimes: Which Future?

The establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office for the fight against the crimes affecting the financial interests of the Union constitutes a complex and rough path.

What emerges is a too complex and elephantine body, illsuited to an efficient fight against eurofinancial crimes. However, some slender lights seem to appear in the more recent developments of this path.
