I'm surprised you're so desperate to get them locked up. Isn't seizing their ill-gotten gains sufficient for you?
Anyway, I had a look around as I too was puzzled. You might think it's laziness, but it turns out it is standard practice to pursue tax evaders and tax fraudsters through the civil courts. And it is because the standards of proof are lower. But don't worry about it, there's enough criminal charges for the time being.
Sure, the evasion/fraud case would normally be brought by HMRC but there's no technical reason why it can't be brought by the police The idea is to regain the money for the public purse. I guess HMRC are too busy pursuing contractors over a few thousand to worry about people who may have defrauded the exchequer of a few million.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
