Speaker: Ing. Matteo Lucchetti - European Council

Abstract: Cybercrime is a threat to fundamental rights of individuals and its transnational nature, as well as its increasing technical sophistication, pose a number of challenges to criminal justice authorities. Furthermore, electronic evidence is entailed in more than 85% of regular crimes, and legal tools are needed for law enforcement officers to effectively handle it cross-border. The Budapest Convention is the reference international legal treaty in the field and puts together an ever-expanding network of countries that share substantive and procedural laws to successfully secure criminals to justice. Examples of its application will be presented together with the action that the Council of Europe has been developing worldwide on this matter.

Short bio: Matteo Lucchetti is Programme Manager Cybercrime at the Cybercrime Programme Office of the Council of Europe (C-PROC), based in Bucharest Romania. He is in charge of the Global Action on Cybercrime Extended Project (GLACY+), a capacity building initiative co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe, whose goal is to strengthen the global criminal justice response to cybercrime.
