Client "acquitted" at pre-charge stage in complex fraud

Our professional client was arrested in a dawn raid on suspicious of fraud by abuse of position and money laundering over 6 months ago. The case involved a complex myriad of transactions and historical factual issues spanning 15 years.

We were chosen for our expertise in defending serious and complex fraud and for our expert pre-charge advice.

We developed a pre-charge defence strategy, conducted a proactive defence which consisted of effectively investigating the allegations from a defence angle: tracing and interviewing defence witnesses, preparing financial audits of transactions to show the source of monies between 8 bank accounts, locating and instructing experts, taking a detailed prepared statement from our client, obtaining a leading QC’s written opinion on the compiled defence documents and making written representations to the police and CPS. We also compiled a very comprehensive and detailed defence dossier for the police.

The whole effect and outcome was to successfully persuade the police and CPS to drop the investigation against our client.

Pre-charge advice is crucial in many cases and it is certainly worth consulting a criminal defence firm specialising in offering pre-charge advice such as MPR solicitors as it could make the difference between being charged and effectively being “acquitted” at the early stages of an investigation.
