Joint investigation teams (JIT) are law enforcement and judicial teams set up jointly by EU national investigative agencies to handle cross-border crime. Joint investigation teams coordinate the investigations and prosecutions conducted in parallel by several countries.[1][2]
In accordance with the Council document establishing the Network of National Experts on Joint Investigation Teams ( the JITs Network), the national experts' role is to facilitate the work of practitioners in the Member States, in association with Europol and Eurojust in their supportive role to JITs.
