Abstract
Anonymity and encryption offered by the Internet represent huge resources for cybercriminals: ransomware and spyware are just two examples of cyber threats that in the past years caused serious damage, not only via desktop computers, but via mobile devices as well.
By its own nature, cybercrime has an outreach which goes well beyond national level. This leads to great difficulties in detecting it, and raises questions over how Law Enforcement can effectively fight it without violating any fundamental rights, including rights on data protection. Europol is the most controlled agency in the world of Law Enforcement and manages to provide high standards of internal and external accountability, as demonstrated by the supervision activity of the DPO, EDPS, and the growing control by the EU Parliament via the JPSG. Europol is a clear example that enhancing both Freedom and Security is possible in the fight against serious and organised crime.
