Economic Crime: Prosecutions
- Question
-
To ask the Solicitor General, what steps she is taking to support the Crown Prosecution Service in tackling serious economic crime.
- Answer
-
Serious economic crime is a growing threat. Last month, the CPS published their Serious Economic and Organised Crime Strategy, which sets out their continued commitment to effectively prosecute these cases amidst the evolving nature and complexity of these crimes.
Ensuring crime does not pay is a core objective. Through asset recovery and financial disruption, the CPS is targeting the profits that drive serious economic and organised crime, depriving offenders of criminal benefit and helping secure compensation for victims.
I will continue to work with the CPS to ensure they deliver justice for victims and hold those who commit serious economic crime to account.
