What is Carbon Credit Fraud?
Carbon credit fraud involves allegations of fraudulent trading or mis-selling of carbon credits, carbon offset schemes, or environmental investments. These cases often involve complex investigations by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Serious Fraud Office (SFO), or specialist environmental crime units. Investigations may relate to voluntary emission reduction (VER) credits, certified emission reduction (CER) units, or other environmental trading schemes.
