Short Reads - Het aanpakken van witteboordencriminaliteit is ‘top priority’ voor het Amerikaanse Department of Justice. Daarbij lijkt het niet meer uit te maken welke nationaliteit de betrokkenen hebben, zolang maar enig nadeel in de Verenigde Staten merkbaar is. In een column voor BijzonderStrafrecht.nl licht Monique van der Linden deze ‘agressieve’ aanpak toe en legt zij aan de hand van de zaak United States v. Hoskins uit dat strafrechtelijke mogelijkheden in de Verenigde Staten inmiddels wel degelijk begrensd zijn.

Short Reads - As it stands, the UK will exit the European Union at midnight on 29 March 2019. Therefore, businesses within the UK, or with trade relations with the UK, would be best advised to assume that a no-deal Brexit is inevitable. The exchange of personal data  within the EU is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In a no-deal Brexit, the GDPR will cease to be applicable in the UK upon its EU exit.
