    In a proactive move against organised crime and sanctions evasion, the UK government has enhanced its fraud detection capabilities with the integration of UK and US sanctions data into its Single Network Analytics Platform (SNAP)

    This upgrade aims to empower authorities in identifying suspicious networks, activities, and users, thus strengthening efforts to combat fraud within the public sector.

    Fraud is the most common type of crime we face. 38% of all crime committed in England and Wales last year was fraud – it costs money, weakens our economic security, and ruins lives.

    On Sunday, I welcomed ministers from the G7 and Five Eyes countries, global law enforcement agencies, tech companies, and industry partners to Guildhall as part of the government’s Global Fraud Summit.

    A reformed fraudster will provide a “unique insight” into fraud as part of a London-wide initiative to increase awareness and understanding about the various types of scams and make people less vulnerable to becoming victims.

    He will work alongside a retired detective chief superintendent from the Metropolitan Police Service in the fraud prevention project, providing personal experience of the “tradecraft and methodology of fraudsters”.

    Hundreds of “erroneous” filings made at Companies House have raised fears over a sophisticated fraud targeted at banks and other financial institutions as the government faces criticism for the register’s lack of funding and checks on false information.

    The issue stems from around 800 forms on the settlement of debts submitted on 190 companies at the government-owned corporate register, all apparently made from the same account.

    New Companies House regime aims to improve data quality and counter misuse – a timely introduction as banks are on high alert due to a spike in potential fraudulent company filings.

    Companies House has gained new powers this week to improve the quality of its data and beef up its ability to prevent fraud within the companies’ register. The move comes after the UK’s banks were alerted to possible rogue filings at the register.

    Organised criminal groups are switching from riskier drug rackets to fraud in the EU and many don't hesitate to use violence to protect their activities, the bloc's chief prosecutor told AFP in an interview.

    Laura Kovesi said that value-added tax (VAT) fraud accounted for 59 percent of the estimated 19 billion euros ($21 billion) in damage to the EU budget arising from cases opened for investigation last year by her European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO).
