UK Home Office launches call for evidence on economic crime sharing

The UK Home Office has launched a call for evidence on the current economic crime information sharing system, seeking views on how existing data sharing gateways used to detect, prevent, investigate and disrupt economic crime can be improved. The call for evidence focuses on identifying legal, operational, and cultural barriers to effective data sharing, as well as opportunities to strengthen the system through reform across the public and private sectors. The scope of this project covers information sharing in relation to any economic crime activity, including fraud, money laundering, corruption and asset recovery which is likely to be interchangeable with information shared on the underlying offences to money laundering. The deadline for comments is 18 May.
