Case Studies
The firm’s leading fee earners have been involved in the following cases:
Regina -v- F The first ever contested trial of a prosecution brought by a Pensions Regulator. Case dismissed at the conclusion of the Prosecution evidence.
Regina -v- E This case involved the Chief Executive Officer of one of the country’s largest recruitment companies, with a turnover in excess of £1 billion annually. He and two of his fellow directors faced charges which were prosecuted by the Serious Fraud Office before the Croydon Crown Court in respect of conspiracy to defraud, designed to produce inflated turnover and profit to satisfy the City’s financial expectations of the company.
Regina -v- C A case involving more than 20 defendants accused of importing cocaine from Colombia and laundering the proceeds back to that country. Our fee-earners represented one of those accused of money laundering. There were three separate trials in Southwark Crown Court, resulting in one of the most significant cases prosecuted in 2005. The scale of the alleged money laundering was evidenced by lengthy covert audio and video surveillance.
