CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY BELGIUM 2.0 – 2021-2025 linked to a district or are cross-district, the FCCU plays a coordinating role. The FCCU also serves as a national point of contact in the international approach to cybercrime. 4.3 The Public Prosecutor’s Office Investigations in general, but also for cybercrime in particular, are conducted in each judicial district under the direction of the competent Public Prosecutor. The latter gives the integrated police services and, if necessary, other investigative services the necessary orders to collect evidence and bring the truth to light. Ultimately, it is the public prosecutor who will or will not bring the cyber crimes to court. On these matters, the Public Prosecutor usually has one or more reference cybercrime magistrates who are primarily responsible for investigating cybercrimes. The Federal Prosecutor is part of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and is specifically charged with the exercise of criminal procedure for well-defined crimes (including terrorism, violations of humanitarian law, etc.). The Federal Prosecutor’s Office may also be asked to take charge of coordinating criminal investigations that cover several jurisdictions or have an international dimension, in consultation with the Crown Prosecutor. The Federal Prosecutor has a Cyber Unit that includes federal magistrates who are particularly focused on the investigation of cyber crimes. These include complex cybercrimes with a large international dimension, committed by organized criminal networks using advanced techniques, and threats to Critical National ICT Infrastructures. Finally, the Federal Prosecutor is also tasked with promoting international operational cooperation and represents the Public Prosecutor’s Office at EUROJUST and the European Judicial Cybercrime Network. If a cybercrime cannot be immediately located in a well-defined district, the Federal Prosecutor may order the first and most urgent investigations. The Cyber Emergency Plan engages the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the management of cyber incidents and crises. Criminal policy and the proper overall and coordinated operation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office is the responsibility of the College of Public Prosecutors. The latter may issue instructions that are mandatory for all members of the Public Prosecutor’s Office. They are assisted by national expertise networks (REN), composed of a multitude of relevant partners. 35
