Joint Defense Team

Cross-border cases
The members practise in seven European countries. Each handles the part of a case that arises in their own jurisdiction, and they coordinate the defence where several states are involved.

Digital evidence
Several members work on cases built on data from EncroChat, SkyECC and ANOM, and on the admissibility and reliability of that data before national and European courts.

Coordination
Where proceedings run in more than one country, the members share information on decisions, requests for legal assistance and evidence, so that the defence in each state knows what happens in the others.

Europol, Eurojust and Interpol
The members deal with cases in which Europol, Eurojust or Interpol are involved, including data processing, joint investigation teams and Red Notices.

Areas of criminal law
The members’ cases include organised crime, fraud, money laundering and proceedings based on data from encrypted phone services.
