Where online and internet-related crimes are committed as a result
of transnational data flows, numerous jurisdictional scenarios can
arise. The
lex loci delicti commissi principle requires that, in
order to apply the territoriality principle, it is necessary to
establish the place where the crime has been committed. Where the
locus delicti
is uncertain (which is very frequent when cybercrimes occur), there is a
major risk that more than one country can assert jurisdiction.
Moreover, even if the place where the crime has been committed is
precisely determined, this often does not coincide with the place where
perpetrators are physically located.
This seminar will look at the jurisdictional conflicts and at the
implications for the investigation and prosecution of criminal
activities. Consideration is given to the new forensic challenges posed
by remote investigations and the powers of law enforcement agencies to
acquire evidence residing beyond national borders.
Key topics
- The principle of lex loci delicti commissi in the digital age
- Procedural issues and jurisdictional conflicts
- Remote investigations
- Handling e-evidence
Who should attend?
Judges, prosecutors and lawyers in private practice from EU Member States.
