- Officials proposed creating joint data-analysis centres and investigation teams between customs and the BKA to tackle illegal drug trafficking and money laundering .
- The package expands the BKA's authority by granting more staff, powers and enforcement capacity, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said, enabling faster confiscations of assets including cash, luxury cars and houses.
- Given Germany's federal system, the BKA acts as the federal investigative authority with national and transnational scope, while routine policing remains under the 16 federal states' laws.
