About

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to The RedSnapper Group for the provision of staff to support the Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Tuna Investigation, known as Operation Iroko.

The contract continues arrangements from previous contracts between the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Redsnapper Group dated 4 April 2014 (Contract references 21071 and 22101), which described an investigation strategy for Operation Iroko.

The investigation targets businesses, including multinational organisations, that attempted to import canned tuna identified as IUU fish into the UK, contravening the Sea Fishing IUU Order 2009.

A Senior Investigation Officer has been appointed and has established a major crime investigation standard similar to the model used by UK Police Forces.

The MMO lacks complex crime investigation experience and expertise for such a high-profile and politically sensitive case.

The contract value is £75,000.
