    The Economic Crime (EC) deputy directorate brings together our Supervision, Proceeds of Crime Operations and Illicit Finance teams and forms an integral part of the HMRC Serious Fraud Strategy. Working closely across the department and the wider Law Enforcement community, using specialist expertise and modern technology we put illicit finance at the centre of operations.
