Key points

Organised crime poses a systemic threat to EU democracy and the rule of law by infiltrating public administrations and the legal economy.
Customs fraud, particularly involving the undervaluation of goods from China, has seen a significant reduction in estimated losses due to OLAF investigations.
VAT fraud, specifically missing trader schemes, causes massive annual losses for Member States and impacts EU revenue.
The Common Agricultural Policy is highly vulnerable to land grabbing and subsidy misuse by criminal and oligarchic structures.
