Cybercrime: Prosecutions
(asked on 18th March 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many times the Fraud Act 2006 has been used successfully to prosecute phishing offences in each of the last five years.
This question was answered on 26th March 2021
The number of prosecutions and convictions for phishing offences is not centrally held in the court proceedings database as this type of offence is not separately identified in legislation. Identifying these offences separately would require a manual search of court records, which would be at disproportionate costs.
