Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Yvonne Fovargue (Labour). It was answered by Lord Garnier (Conservative) on Tuesday, 10 July 2012 on behalf of the Attorney General.


Serious Fraud Office

Question
To ask the Attorney General, how many successful prosecutions for fraud were brought by the Serious Fraud Office in 2011.
Answer

Owing to their complexity, SFO cases rarely conclude in the same year in which the prosecution, still less the investigation, begins. In 2011, the SFO concluded 14 fraud cases and 28 defendants were convicted; a further seven bribery cases were brought to a successful conclusion.
