BEHIND THE STATISTICS 5

Organized crime · 07/10/2019

This document provides an analysis of the legal framework, statistics and final court judgments rendered in the period from 2013 to the end of 2018.

The thirty case studies presented in this publication contain an analysis of the conduct of the Special Prosecutors, as well as the practices of the courts of first and second instance.

Details of the most common forms of organized crime, such as drug smuggling, money laundering and smuggling of human beings, are presented in separate chapters. Separate studies also provide analysis of proceedings that dealt with other forms of organized crime, including possession of weapons, trafficking in human beings and smuggling of excise goods.

The responsibility of judges and prosecutors for numerous omissions in these cases is addressed in a separate section of the publication. The last chapter focuses on the deletion of important data from court judgments that limit the analysis and public scrutiny of the work of judiciary.
