This book examines the realities of the functioning of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) along with the actual cooperation with other stakeholders in the EU and in the Member States. The protection of financial interests of the European Union is a Treaty obligation bearing equally on the Member States and the Union itself. In order to increase the effectiveness of the investigations and prosecutions in those areas falling under the PIF Directive, using enhanced cooperation provisions, 22 Member States established the office of The European Public Prosecutor which came into operation in 2021. Based on examples of five Member States taking part in the EPPO from the beginning - Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia - as well as Poland, which used to be a non-participating Member State and only recently joined the EPPO, this collection analyses the legal framework as well as the practical experience of cooperation in this field. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics and researchers in the areas of EU Criminal Law, EU Law and EU Constitutional Law.

This study was funded by the European Union’s HERCULE III programme and it presents the research findings elaborated from the project entitled “Vertical and horizontal cooperation in combatting organized fraud in the EU”, implemented at the Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

The article offers analysis of the legal framework of the institute of conditional release in Lithuania and Poland. In both countries, conditional release is considered a probationary measure to regulate prison overcrowding and promote effective social readaptation of convicts. The authors explore the concept of the conditional release at the international and national levels, reveal the content of the formal and substantive grounds of conditional release, and examine the similarities and differences in legal regulation of conditional release in Lithuania and Poland. In addition, the conditional release application statistics in Lithuania and Poland are compared. The authors argue that, despite their high prison population rates, Lithuania and Poland are reluctant to use some of the probation instruments, allowing for an early release of detainees, such as the conditional release. Moreover, the policies of Poland and Lithuania regarding this institute’s legislative regulation and criminal application seem insufficiently in line with international standards.
