The EPPO/OLAF compendium of national procedures: Portugal

Abstract

This Portuguese EPPO/OLAF volume provides a comprehensive overview of EU and Portuguese law in the context of criminal investigations into EU fraud offences. It deals with the actions of the EPPO regional offices in Portugal, including their tasks, provisions, and methods. The text also addresses the Union law of the European Public Prosecutor's Office and its future prospects. The third part of this volume discusses the investigative missions of the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) in Portugal. While this volume is written in English, its footnotes reproduce the original Portuguese legislation in the local language. Easily navigable with the help of specific symbols, which guide you to further relevant information, it is designed as a quick reference tool for academics, students, practitioners and other interested readers. Prof Dr Sandra Oliveira e Silva acted as the national expert for this volume.
