IRS Criminal Investigation Division
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigates potential criminal violations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and related financial crimes in a manner intended to foster confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law. While other federal agencies also have investigative jurisdiction for money laundering and some bank secrecy act violations, the IRS is the only federal agency that can investigate potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code.
Chief, Eileen Mayer, Criminal Investigation, and John Imhoff, Deputy Chief, Criminal Investigation, oversee a worldwide staff of approximately 4,400 CID employees, including approximately 2,800 special agents who investigate and assist in the prosecution of criminal tax, money laundering, and narcotics-related financial crime cases.
