Reference Case Number: FOI2026/00780

Freedom of Information: Right to know request:

Further to your response to Freedom of Information request FOI2026/00517, you provided aggregate figures for the period 4 March 2023 to 28 February 2026, specifically:

Total criminal investigations first opened: 12
Total civil investigations first opened: 3
Total dual-track investigations first opened: 22

I would be grateful if you could provide a breakdown of these figures on a monthly basis across the same time period. Specifically, I am seeking the number of investigations first opened in each category (criminal, civil, and dual-track) for each individual month.
