What is serious fraud?
Serious fraud encompasses a range of sophisticated and intricate fraudulent activities at a high level. It typically involves various forms of fraudulent schemes, including investment fraud, such as Ponzi schemes or boiler room fraud. Additionally, it extends to corporate fraud, which encompasses unlawful asset stripping and deceitful trading practices. These complex cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Serious Fraud Office, which assumes responsibility for investigating and addressing such crimes.
