Summary/Abstract: The concept of a European Public Prosecutor is certainly not new, it was born since the mid-1970s as a necessity to most effectively protect the financial interests of the European Community, which already attributed to its own resources. Following the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty created the legal basis for the establishment of a European Department of Public Prosecution. The novel mention of a European Prosecution Department seems pretty bold, especially as according to Article 86 of the Treaty (TFEU) it is not expected to restrict their activities only to offenses that threaten the Union's financial interests, but provides that the Council can decide "at once or thereafter" extension of the competence for criminal investigations of serious crimes with a cross-border dimension.Since the road apparently leads towards a public action, we will analyze the stakes, the achievements and none the less the prospects.
