Abstract: A method for providing lawful interception, LI, in a radio communication system (500) with network slices, NSs, (520, 530, 540). The method comprises: providing a broker LI provisioning function, bLIPF (508) connected to an LI centralized function, LICF, (506), and to at least one slice LI provisioning function, sLIPF, (528, 538, 548) implemented on one of the NSs; receiving an LI target identity, if the LICF determines that a party of a network service provided using a network function, NF, (522, 524, 526, 532, 534, 536, 542, 544, 546) running on the one of the NSs has the LI target identity; and conveying the LI target identity from the bLIPF to the at least one sLIPF, wherein the at least one sLIPF activates a point of interception, POI, (522p, 524p, 526p, 532p, 534p, 536p, 542p, 544p, 546p) associated with or embedded in the NF to intercept data.
