Abstract

We live in an online world. Everything we do is connected with the use internet. The Information and Communication Technology has developed so much and contributed towards economic and social benefit. But, on the other side, terrorists and cyber-criminals are using cyberspace to criminal actions. Such problem is not local and for single country; it is global and therefore needs a global approach to tackle such criminal actions.
Therefore, law enforcement authorities should be able and supported to effectively conduct investigations against terrorist acts and terrorist groups using the information and communication technology. But, there is an issue of territorial jurisdiction, because of the internet and its no-border nature. Questions arise regarding the data that could be used as evidence in courts and the judicial cooperation, as well as the privacy protection of citizens.
The Council of Ministers of the EU in June 2016, stressed out the significance of improving the effectiveness of criminal justice in cyberspace. In its conclusions, the Council provides a starting point and the paper seeks to answer several questions: What are the main challenges that EU and member states face today when they collect e-evidence? How are they tackling these issues (explained through case studies)? Can an EU common framework provide solutions to solve these problems?
