This year’s SIRIUS EU Electronic Evidence Situation Report, jointly published by Europol, Eurojust, and the European Judicial Network, represents a continued effort to shed light on the ever-evolving landscape of cross-border investigations involving electronic evidence within the European Union (EU). Now celebrating its 5th anniversary, the SIRIUS Project has grown into a Centre of Excellence in the field of electronic evidence in the EU.
This report provides an overview of the EU’s electronic evidence landscape through the lenses of law enforcement, the judiciary, and service providers. Highlighting the profound significance of the forthcoming EU Electronic Evidence legislative package, transformative online technologies and shifting legal landscapes emphasize the need for well-trained and adaptable judicial and law enforcement authorities.
