The Metropolitan Police War Crimes Unit was a specialist unit of the Metropolitan Police Service investigating cases relating to the War Crimes Act 1991. It was formed on 28 May 1991[1] and - with no more leads on any such cases remaining after the trial of Anthony Sawoniuk - it was disbanded in summer 1999 and its work transferred to the Organised Crime Group, part of the Specialist Operations (SO) Department.[1][2] As of 2015 such work was carried out by Counter Terrorism Command, also part of Specialist Operations.[3]
