Welcome to the anti-corruption enforcement tracker
The tracker is a unique resource pulling together data that is publicly accessible but often located in hard-to-find spreadsheets. Its aim is to increase public understanding of how the UK is faring when it comes to enforcing against corruption and other related economic crimes. For details on the data behind the statistics, and on how we decided what to include in the tracker, take a look at the methodology page.
Prosecutions and convictions for key offences
This visualisation presents the overall trends in prosecutions and convictions across key corruption-related offences in the UK. By tracking enforcement activities for money laundering, fraud, bribery, and misconduct in public office, the chart provides a comprehensive view of how actively these laws have been enforced over a multi-year period.

Asset Recovery Enforcement
Asset recovery is a crucial component of the UK’s anti-corruption enforcement toolkit, allowing authorities to deprive criminals of the funds gained through corruption (as well funds acquired through other forms of criminality). This chart illustrates the annual value of assets recovered through the criminal justice system since 2013/14, providing insight into the effectiveness of the UK’s asset recovery regime. The trends shown here help assess whether recovery efforts are increasing in line with the UK Government’s stated ambition to recover more criminal assets. You can dig further into the UK’s performance in this area on the asset recovery enforcement tracker page.

AML Regulatory Enforcement
Beyond criminal prosecution and asset recovery, certain sectors are regulated for their compliance with the Anti–Money Laundering (AML) Regulations. This visualisation tracks both the number and total value of regulatory fines imposed for breaches of the Money Laundering Regulations since 2013/14.
