Serious Fraud Office

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is a government agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting serious financial crimes, such as fraud, bribery, and corruption. Its role is to detect complex criminal activities that threaten public trust and economic stability. The SFO operates independently to ensure fair enforcement of the law, often handling cases that involve large-scale or sophisticated criminal schemes. Its focus is on protecting society by bringing to justice those who commit significant financial offenses, thereby maintaining confidence in the financial and legal systems.
