A Eurojust-supported joint investigation team (JIT) involving Irish and Latvian authorities, together with Europol, has resulted in Ireland’s first convictions for human trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation. After the investigation, Irish courts convicted two individuals of offences including human trafficking, money laundering and forgery. Both defendants were sentenced to prison terms of 13 years and 11 years, respectively. The case highlights the role of cross-border cooperation through a JIT, which allows participating authorities to work together on investigations that span more than one country. In this matter, the investigation was supported by Eurojust and involved coordination with Europol alongside the Irish and Latvian authorities. These convictions follow the legal process in Ireland. The report does not set out additional details about the offences beyond the categories recorded by the court outcome, and it does not provide information on other aspects of the case.
