WQ.178/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 26th APRIL 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th MAY 2021
Question
Will the Minister advise members how many suspicious transaction reports have been made to the States of Jersey Police Financial Crimes Unit over each of the last 10 years by category (banks, trust companies, lawyers, accountants, and estate agents); and of those, how many have resulted in a police investigation, and how many of them have been referred to the Law Officers' Department for consideration of prosecution; and if known, how many have resulted in a prosecution and what was the result of that prosecution?
Answer
As was the case with written question 177/2021, the material that has been requested by the Deputy is information held in multiple agencies and is not available in the form the Deputy has requested.
A proportion of this information is already available in Jersey's National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering . The Government and relevant financial crime agencies in Jersey, as part of developing the Islands Financial Crime Strategy, is working to regularly collect and publish the type of data that is sought by the Deputy on a regular basis. It is anticipated this will begin in 2022.
