The Tax Agency has organised a course on economic crime, which was held on 14, 15 and 16 June in Madrid, aimed at members of the Tax Career specialising in economic crime.

The inauguration of the course-stay was attended by the Director General of the Tax Agency, Soledad Fernández Doctor, and the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, who highlighted the need for specialized training to address increasingly complex crimes and the important role played by these courses, which began last year and, given their success, are consolidated with the one held this year.

During the course-stay, the work of those bodies of the Tax Agency whose specific functions are directed precisely to the investigation of cases that may lead, early or after the appropriate administrative activity, to reports of this type of crime has been exposed: the Customs Surveillance Service (integrated into the Customs and Excise Department) or the National Fraud Investigation Office (of the Financial and Tax Inspection Department).

The issues arising from crimes against the Public Treasury, frustration of the execution of public credit, money laundering and smuggling have been addressed, as well as the main problems of processing files and the possibilities of collaboration with Courts and Tribunals.

The course-internship was closed by the Director of the Customs and Excise Department of the Tax Agency, María Pilar Jurado Borrego.
