peer agreement (net): +5"smart crime" Explanation: in this OECD report www.oecd.org/dataoecd/36/36/26242055.pdf It was to solve these problems that, in the summer of 2003, the Chancellery decided to initiate a reform of the Paris economic and financial pole. The aim, as described by the Paris Public Prosecutor, was to “restrict the perimeter of competence by removing a certain number of types of case”, in other words to refocus the pole’s activities on major financial cases, in particular transnational crime. As part of this reform, some of the criminal cases currently handled by the so-called “smart crime” section [délinquance astucieuse] should, by the end of 2003, be handed over to prosecutors and investigating magistrates working in the “general” department. The number of investigating magistrates operating in the pole itself is expected to decrease from twenty-nine to nineteen – but in future they will concentrate on the most important, targeted cases. |
