Financial schemes targeting distressed homeowners are on the rise, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III told a lunch crowd of hundreds at the Greater Miami Chmaber of Commerce Wednesday.
Mueller said that the agency must place much of its focus on combatting terrorism in the post-911 era, the FBI still has a strong commitment to investigating white-collar crime, especially mortage fraud, healthcare fraud and corporate and securities fraud.
The events of Sept. 11, 2001 triggered a new emphasis on cooperation with other agencies and the use of intelligence to drive traditional white collar crime investigation, he said.
“We have not neglected our criminal responsibilities,’’ Mueller told the crowd. “What has changed is that we make greater use of intelligence and partnerships to focus our limited resources.’’
