Britain will recruit 500 police officers and invest £ 500 million in fighting crime over three years

The British Home Office announced on Tuesday that it will invest £ 500 million over the next three years to recruit 500 police officers to specifically track and confiscate proceeds of crime. The money comes from an economic crimes tax on regulated companies and is designed to support a new anti-money laundering and asset recovery strategy.

These additional police forces will be distributed to local police forces, the National Crime Investigation Agency (NCA) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The Home Office points out that according to estimates by the National Crime Investigation Bureau, more than £ 100 billion is laundered every year through the UK or British corporate structures. In recent years, this threat has intensified with the rise of financial technology, cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence.

Deepen "Operation Destruction" and Expand the scope of attack

Newly recruited police officers will work on the basis of existing "Operation Destruction". The operation mainly targets Russian-speaking Internet organizations that convert street cash into cryptocurrency to serve organized criminal groups. The National Crime Investigation Bureau plans to launch a new round of arrests and cash forfeiture operations, focusing on networks that assist ransomware gangs, hostile countries and the Class A drug trade.

So far, the "sabotage operation" has achieved remarkable results: in less than a year, 119 suspected money laundering people have been arrested and cash and cryptocurrency worth more than 25 million pounds have been seized.

Addressing the Challenge of New Financial Crime

上周,国家犯罪调查局公开呼吁加强相关能力。在其年度报告中,该局经济犯罪中心指出,犯罪分子正在“创新性地利用加密资产产品来逃避侦查,并大规模转移非法资金”。因此,该局希望将“破坏行动”的模式推广至其他网络,同时构建更主动、以情报为导向的加密资产执法能力。

在与财政部和金融行为监管局(FCA)商定的九项经济犯罪优先事项中,加密资产位列第三。国家犯罪调查局经济犯罪副主管萨尔·梅尔基(Sal Melki)表示,随着犯罪分子拥抱新技术,打击金融犯罪的复杂性不断增加。此次投资将资助建立一个“面向英国的创新金融情报服务”,并提升针对犯罪分子金融架构的能力。

过往执法成效回顾

政府数据显示,过去一年间,执法机构从犯罪分子手中追缴了近3.5亿英镑,阻止了超过10亿英镑的非法资金流动,向受害者返还了2600万英镑,并实现了近4000起洗钱罪的定罪。

英国执法机构此前已与加密货币公司展开合作。例如,在与美国特勤局联合开展的“大西洋行动”中,警方在三月于国家犯罪调查局总部进行的为期一周的行动中,识别出2万名钓鱼邮件受害者,并与Coinbase、Binance、Kraken和Tether等公司合作,在一周内冻结了1200万美元的资金。
