2010-11 in brief
Thanks to our action, over £64 million of funds have been, or are due to be, returned to victims
This includes:
- a settlement in a global agreement against a company that did not keep reasonably accurate records
- a restraint order that prevented suspects from moving funds. In this case we returned the money direct to victims
We recovered around £10 million in assets
We have over 100 cases either at investigation, prosecution and compensation stages (up from 86 last year) with an average work force of 300 staff
We have maintained a high conviction rate - 84% of the defendants we brought to trial were found guilty
and…
100% of the cases we brought before the courts resulted in at least one conviction.
17 cases involving 31 defendants went to trial.
… 26 defendants were found guilty…
… and got an average jail sentence of 30.1 months
We processed 70 million documents of evidence - equivalent to a stack of paper 200 miles high
We worked with over 30 jurisdictions
We cost just 64p for every person of the UK in 2010-11 (9p down on last year)
