Waste: Crime
The question
To ask the Solicitor General, what steps she is taking to support the Crown Prosecution Service in tackling serious financial crime in the waste sector.
Answered by Ellie Reeves
The CPS considers every case referred to it by investigators and will prosecute where the evidential and public interest tests set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors are met.
The Solicitor General supports the CPS in tackling serious financial crime across all sectors, including where offending occurs in the waste sector. This includes supporting cross-government economic crime reforms and investment in economic crime and asset recovery capability, helping the CPS and its law enforcement partners to prosecute offenders and recover criminal assets.
