WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Criminal investigations of Wall Street continue to soar and now total 43, a top FBI official told Congress Friday.

A month ago FBI Deputy Director John Pistole testified the number of major investigations numbered 36. In testimony on Friday, Pistole told the House Financial Services Committee the FBI now has "43 corporate fraud and financial institution matters directly related to the current financial crisis."

Pistole also said the total number of open corporate fraud investigations nationwide has risen to 566 -- up from 530 when he testified last month.

The number of FBI mortgage fraud investigation has also continued to climb, from about 1,800 in Pistole's earlier testimony to "more than 2,000."
