Financial Crime Unit - What they do
The Financial Crime Unit is comprised of three distinct teams.
The Financial Intelligence Team receives Suspicious Activity Reports submitted by the financial sector or anyone in business who suspects money laundering or terrorism financing.
The Overseas Assistance Team deals with all International Letters of Request or other assistance procedures provided for through Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties.
The Investigation Team deals with all investigations.
Computer Crime
All computer forensic investigations are dealt with by specialist officers within the FCU who maintain close links with the UK National High Tech Crime Unit and other law enforcement agencies with responsibility for computer crime. Fraudsters and organised criminals use advancements in technology to commit crime and it is important that law enforcement is effective in this area to trace and apprehend such offenders.
