On 25 September, the EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator and the Chair of Eurojust’s Anti-Trafficking Team co-hosted the 4th annual meeting of the Focus Group of specialised prosecutors combating trafficking in human beings. The meeting focused on the latest developments in this area and on how to reinforce judicial co-operation and improve prosecution for trafficking in human beings.

Prosecutors discussed trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ removal, the role of AI in human trafficking, and challenges and best practices in cross-border investigations and judicial cooperation on cases of trafficking involving child victims.

EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator Diane Schmitt stressed that the EU Anti-trafficking policy must be able to respond to the evolving geopolitical and threat landscape, in particular to the emerging forms of exploitation and the links with other crime areas and the challenges posed by new technologies. She added that it is of critical importance that all these new developments are taken into account in criminal judicial responses and that everything is done to prosecute and convict those behind this terrible crime. This also implies strong judicial and law enforcement cooperation.
