National Crime Agency: Finance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing additional funding to the National Crime Agency to enforce sanctions in relation to the war in Ukraine.
- Answer
-
The Home Office welcomes the announcement on the Combatting Kleptocracy Cell in the National Crime Agency which will focus on corrupt elites laundering their assets within the UK, including through supporting work on criminal sanctions enforcement. The NCA has already surged additional officers to support existing efforts and the Home Office will support the unit to drive forwards what are inevitably complex and lengthy operations.
The Spending Review 2021 settlement and the Economic Crime Levy represent an overall package of circa £400 million to tackle economic crime over the next three years, including support for the NCA’s National Economic Crime Centre (NECC) and law enforcement.
