The Serious Fraud Office (UK)

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is a UK government department responsible for investigating and prosecuting serious financial crimes, such as large-scale fraud, bribery, and corruption. It works independently to uphold integrity in the financial system, often handling cases that are complex and involve significant public interest. The SFO can gather evidence, bring criminal charges, and work with prosecutors to ensure offenders are held accountable, helping to maintain trust in financial and legal systems. It operates across various industries and has the authority to investigate corporate misconduct that threatens economic stability.
