This section tracks the enforcement of overall fraud offences (covering both fraud against individuals and businesses as well as public sector fraud, e.g. tax evasion and benefits fraud) as well as key fraud offences which may overlap with corrupt activity.
Fraud Offences
This chart tracks prosecutions and convictions for fraud offences which may be associated with corruption in the UK. While fraud encompasses a wide range of criminal activities, we focus here on specific offences that may indicate corrupt behaviour—including conspiracy to defraud, corrupt transactions with agents, and fraud by abuse of position. The data distinguishes between individual and corporate defendants where available, offering insight into how these different types of fraud are enforced across the criminal justice system. These trends help illustrate the UK’s approach to addressing fraud that occurs in contexts where corruption may be present.
