6.5 TAX CRIME UNITS<br />
Expansion of tax <strong>crime</strong> units is proceeding according to plan. There were<br />
a total of 179 investigators at the end of 2003, as opposed to 157 a year<br />
earlier.<br />
The number of pretrial investigations completed rose by approximately<br />
40% in 2003 to almost 1,400. Since tax <strong>crime</strong> units are still in the expansion<br />
stage, enhanced performance is to be expected. Nevertheless, the<br />
improvement has been better than anticipated.<br />
Some 80% of the cases completed in 2003 originated as <strong>crime</strong> <strong>report</strong>s<br />
from the tax authorities. Receivers in bankruptcy <strong>report</strong>ed the second<br />
largest number of offences.<br />
