Case Study

Investigative services to support a defence legal team in a multi-million pound fraud

Our investigators were commissioned by two legal teams to lend their expertise in analysing a prosecution report regarding a multi-million pound crypto investment fraud case.

Representing their respective clients, both legal teams sought clarity on the accusations against their defendants, who had been arrested by law enforcement and awaited trial for several years.

The process

Using their specialist skills in navigating complex criminal investigations, our investigators meticulously scrutinised the prosecution’s case, uncovering significant flaws and inconsistencies.

In a remarkably short span, our investigations team delivered a comprehensive report to the legal counsel.

The result

While we advised that the prosecution’s case against one of the defendants was robust, enabling their lawyers to provide tailored legal counsel, the outcome for the second client was far more favourable.

After years of bail and uncertainty, our report prompted the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to offer no evidence, resulting in the dismissal of all charges against them.
