| South Florida Leads Nation in Mortgage Fraud Prosecutions |
| (24 Mar 2011)
Since FY 2008, when the Department of Justice began tracking the category, through the first quarter of FY 2011, just over half of federal mortgage fraud prosecutions -- 1,038 out of a total of 2,015 nationally -- were filed in only ten of the nation's 90-plus districts, according to timely data obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).
The Southern District of Florida led the nation with 290 such prosecutions.
