Mr. Justin Kelly:

Every jurisdiction has intelligence-gathering capabilities. A lot of information gathered around Europe by the police services would frequently come to us through Europol. Often, this is how we get our intelligence from other countries. We have our own national criminal intelligence unit that receives information from foreign jurisdictions. Whatever the type of information is, be it drugs, terrorism or economic crime, they will then analyse and disseminate that to the relevant people. For example, if there is interesting material coming from surveillance in another jurisdiction, it will invariably go on to our national criminal intelligence unit, which will disseminate it to us in the economic crime bureau and then we will move to the operational phase and investigate it to see what we can do with it here. Across the EU we are all quite similar in what we do around economic crime and how we gather information. As I have said, with some countries it can be a bit more challenging where they have different police forces in different jurisdictions around different things. That is one challenge we do have.
