Talk:Serious Fraud Office (United Kingdom)

Specialist Scottish fraud unit - a business case will be presented to ministers in February 2009
http://www.theherald.co.uk/politics/news/display.var.2480517.0.Madoff_Calls_for_specialist_Scottish_fraud_unit.php ''The SFO can investigate and prosecute UK cases through courts in England, Wales and Northern Ireland but cannot prosecute under Scottish law. Mr Aitken said: "In May last year, Her Majesty's chief Inspector of Constabulary for Scotland, Paddy Tomkins, published a report revealing that, when it comes to investigating and tackling serious fraud, Scotland is badly behind the rest of the United Kingdom. "Specifically, the report called on the SNP government to establish a national fraud capability and to do so as a matter of urgency, within three months. And in January 2009, we do not have it."'' --Mais oui! (talk) 13:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

SFO in the media
I thought the common alternative expansion of SFO was 'Serial Fu*kup Office' given their ability to go from one disaster to another. Thu (talk) 16:37, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Notable cases
Two whole cases since 1987, that's strong going, that is. The SFO is currently being depicted on the BBC (New Blood) as a group of hotshots in relentless pursuit of wrongdoers. Of course it's a complete work of fiction. Private Eye even refers to them as the Serious Farce Office.
