The Tax Agency has organised a course on economic crime, which was held on 28, 29 and 30 September in Madrid, aimed at members of the tax profession, specialists in economic crime.

The inauguration of the course was attended by the Director General of the Tax Agency, Soledad Fernández Doctor, and the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, who valued the content of the course, highlighting the Director General that both the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Tax Administration have, from different procedural positions, a crucial role, a common interest and an evident responsibility in the investigation, prosecution and prosecution - when appropriate - of economic crimes.

During the course of the event, 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 presented: the Customs Surveillance Service (integrated into the Customs and Excise Department) or the National Fraud Investigation Office (of the Inspection Department).

The issues arising from crimes against the Public Treasury, the frustration of the execution of public credit, money laundering and smuggling, as well as the main problems in the processing of files and the possibilities of collaboration with Courts and Tribunals have been addressed. Finally, the new features of the Criminal Procedure Bill that will affect the tax administration were analysed.

The course was closed by the Director General of the Tax Agency, Soledad Fernández Doctor.
