Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Suspicious Activity Reports linked to sanctioned individuals or entities are currently being closely monitored by the UK Financial Intelligence Unit, broken down by (a) country of origin of the designated person or entity and (b) sector.

The National Crime Agency is tasked with investigating criminal sanctions evasion and high-end money laundering, and the NCA’s UK Financial Intelligence Unit (UKFIU) has national responsibility for the receipt, analysis and dissemination of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), including SARs linked to sanctioned individuals and entities.

For reasons of operational security, we are not able to provide further details publicly.
