Judicial cooperation in criminal matters within the European Union has evolved to address transnational crime. In this context, Joint Investigation Teams (hereinafter, JITs) have emerged as an effective alternative to traditional letters rogatory, enabling direct collaboration between authorities from different Member States in complex criminal investigations. Simultaneously, the European Investigation Order (hereinafter, EIO) and Eurojust play a key role in optimizing judicial cooperation, facilitating evidence exchange and coordination between European prosecutors and courts. This article examines the replacement of letters rogatory by JITs and the EIO, as well as the relevance of Eurojust in coordinating transnational criminal investigations, with reference to relevant case law.

Corporate criminal liability is an increasingly important topic in modern criminal law. In the past, companies were not considered liable for committing crimes, as only individuals could be held responsible. However, many jurisdictions, including the European Union and the United States, have implemented laws that allow companies to be penalized for criminal actions. This change in the law has been motivated by corporate scandals in recent decades, which have demonstrated that a lack of corporate criminal liability can lead to a culture of impunity and corruption. The corporate criminal liability model is based on the idea of self-responsibility, which means that the company is responsible for its own crime, whether of mere activity or passivity, and is distinct from individual crime. To hold a company responsible for a crime, it must be shown that the company's organization or structure favored the commission of the crime and that the crime was committed in the course of the company's activities, for its direct or indirect benefit. Companies can avoid criminal liability by taking preventive measures and collaborating in investigations.
