Home Office Press Release

The Government's commitment to reducing serious organised crime
moves into the 21st Century with the launch of the Serious
Organised Crime Agency (SOCA). SOCA will tackle drug trafficking,
organised immigration crime, money laundering and identity fraud
by developing an intelligence picture of organised crime, pursuing
key criminals and groups, disrupting criminal markets and
attacking criminal assets to ensure they don't profit from their
crimes.
