The SCDEA issued their annual report this week. The SCDEA exists to prevent and detect serious organised crime as it affects Scotland at a national and international level.
“There is no such thing as ‘victimless crime’ in Scotland. The reality is that the purchase of a counterfeit DVD for a Friday night film directly correlates to the availability of drugs in our communities. The targeting of crime against business results in higher taxes and insurance premiums to cover the costs of responding to this. We all pay the price.”
