"The EU Member States, EU bodies and third partners have once again joined forces with Europol in this year’s Operation CICONIA ALBA to counter organised crime networks involved in the priority crime areas.

Following the successful 2014 Archimedes and 2015 Blue Amber operations, Operation CICONIA ALBA is the third series of joint action days (JADs) covered by the 2013 – 2017 EU Policy Cycle targeting serious international and organised crime. Operation CICONIA ALBA focuses on key crime hot spots and key criminal infrastructures in the EU and beyond."
