Detective Inspector Alexander Eristavi is a UK Police Officer, working as a subject matter expert in the field of Economic and Cybercrime. Between 2009 – 2019, Alexander worked within the UK’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) run by the City of London Police (CoLP). During this period, Alexander undertook a number of key roles with distinction, earning rewards and recognition for his efforts, commitment and impact nationally on white collar crime. 

Highlights include his work within pioneering a multi-agency, intelligence lead approach to proactively dismantle ‘Boiler Rooms’ across the UK. Through this initiative he was able to develop multiple complex cases, leading to enforcement cash seizures and convictions. These interventions were also showcased in the "Fraud Squad" documentary series to raise the profile with the public and reduce victimisation. 

In 2012 Alexander introduced a new strategy to suspend web sites and phone numbers used to facilitate fraud, preventing significant financial loss and the prevention of thousands of potential victims. He was highly commended for this innovation which later led to the formation of a dedicated disruption team within the NFIB and later expanded into the UK’s first Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU); in which Alex was instrumental within its implementation. 

For a number of years Alexander led a team responsible for the assessment of all the investment fraud matters reported through the UK’s national fraud reporting centre, Action Fraud, and later he became a manager for the NFIB Crime that consisted of several teams reviewing, assessing victim reports and allocating crime packages to relevant agencies/police forces. 

From 2019 to 2024 Alexander was posted to New York as a Liaison Officer to Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to support CoLP investigations. Alexander developed a good working relationship with a number of US law enforcement agencies and reached a formal agreement between CoLP and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), securing CoLP’s membership within the HSI’s El Dorado Financial Crime Task Force.
