EU serious and organised crime threat assessment (SOCTA 2013)

The SOCTA 2013 report is Europol’s flagship product providing information to Europe’s law enforcement community and decision-makers about the threat of serious and organised crime to the EU.

The report found that international drug trafficking remained the most active organised crime activity but it also identified the emergence of new criminal phenomena, many linked to the current economic crisis and the internet.
