Serious crimes tend to be punished more harshly than other crimes, including substantial prison sentences and large fines. If you are faced with a claim, it is imperative that you seek legal advice immediately.
Fraud
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) normally investigates serious fraud, but there are a number of other law enforcement agencies in the UK, such as the Metropolitan Police. Serious fraud generally carries a high prison sentence and can also involve money laundering and tax evasion. This law allows law enforcement agencies to recover money accumulated through criminal activities, which can result in fines.
Investigations and court proceedings can take a long time, but the SFO's investigations are robust and thorough and it is one of the UK's most successful law enforcement agencies.
Fraud investigations can be particularly complex and there is often a wide range of fraud cases, which can include a variety of different types of fraudulent activity such as money laundering, tax evasion and fraud.
Human Trafficking
Violations of the Human Trafficking Act are covered by the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and can result in long prison sentences, including life imprisonment and hefty fines.
Murder & Manslaughter
The death of a person can have serious consequences, including a long prison sentence, although the sentence for murder is life imprisonment.
Actual Bodily Harm
The most serious offences of bodily harm are committed in contravention of the Insulting Persons Act of 1861 and are punishable by severe penalties, the maximum penalty being life imprisonment. In this case, a person tries to expose another person to the risk of being arbitrarily subjected to violence or to use violence against that person. The maximum penalty for robbery is life imprisonment.
Sexual Offences
This is a complex and ever-changing area of the law and includes a wide range of offences, including rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse of children. These offences are taken extremely seriously by the police and courts and can carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
