Slovenia Doubles Number of Cases Sent to Eurojust

Slovenia more than doubled the number of cases it sent in 2006 to Eurojust compared to 2005. While the country asked for help in solving 15 cases of serious cross-border and organised crime in 2005, the number rose to 36 last year, Slovenian Eurojust representative Malci Gabrijelcic said.

According to Gabrijelcic, the majority of cases that Slovenia submitted dealt with drugs, followed by fraud and illegal border crossing, while there were no cases of child pornography.
Moreover, many of the 36 cases have already been solved, with some arrests made in Slovenia as well, the national representative at the body that is stationed in The Hague.
Eurojust is facing an increasing number of cases transferred to it by judiciary bodies of individual EU member states. The cases involve terrorism, illegal drugs, serial murders and child pornography.
Eurojust head Michael G. Kennedy believes the institution still has capacity to spare, despite an increase in the number of cases from 558 in 2005 to 771 in 2006.
