Some 20 participants representing the criminal justice authorities of Costa Rica shared experiences and best practices and discussed how to strengthen international collaboration when handling cybercrime cases and electronic evidence across national borders. Moreover, the challenges ranging from lengthiness of the overall process, partial or no execution of the MLA requests to necessity to cope with diverse legislation frameworks, and different levels of collaboration with the private sector were addressed.
Together with the Council of Europe’s experts, involved through the GLACY+ project, the participants reached a set of conclusions and recommendations aiming at a better use of the existing tools for international cooperation (like the 24/7 Points of Contact Network, informal cooperation, voluntary collaboration with Internet service providers) and preparing the Costa Rican authorities in the light of the implementation of the upcoming Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention.
