Resumen de Gemeinsame ermittlungsgruppen: herausforderungen und lösungen
After the establishment of Joint Investigation Teams (JITs) in international treaties and the implementation of the rules on JITs into German law, JITs will become a more and more useful investigative tool for the law enforcement authorities in Germany within the repertoire of their investigative measures. The aim of this article is therefore to bring this new tool home to the practitioners and give them valuable advice on the conditions under which JITs may be established and how practical problems can be solved both as regards the phase when JITs are established (part II) and during their working phase (part III). Part IV is dedicated to the question on how the use of evidence gathered by JITs can be ensured during the criminal proceedings before the court. The article clarifies that JITs can have a decisive advantage for the investigation of crimes, but particular accuracy should already be exercised when developing the agreement establishing a JIT.
