The three-year Plan sets out the UK’s strategy and commitments for tackling economic crime (including money laundering, fraud, kleptocracy and sanctions evasion) while protecting national security and supporting long-term competitiveness and economic growth. The Plan highlights the eyewatering extent of the problem: every year an estimated £100 billion in criminal proceeds are laundered through the UK, with fraud costing the UK an estimated £136 billion, and illicit crypto asset transactions linked to the UK in 2021 of at least £1.24 billion.
