NCA publishes National Strategic Assessment of Serious and Organised Crime 2024

The National Crime Agency (NCA) published The National Strategic Assessment of Serious and Organised Crime 2024.

 

The Assessment presents the threat to the UK from a rise in serious and organised crime #SOC based on data collected by the NCA from 2023

 

Key threat information includes:

  • £270m was denied to criminals through defence against money laundering (DAML) requests filed between April 2022 and March 2023;
  • 89% of frauds reported to Action Fraud were cyber-enabled, compared with 37% in 2012-2013; and
  • Money mules were a key enabler of the laundering of proceeds of fraud.

Firms should review the latest NCA figures as part of remaining aware of new and ongoing illicit finance and fraud threats.
