NCA publishes 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.
