Case Study

Intelligence and due diligence in Russia & CIS

When:
2017
Where:
Europe, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States
Services involved:
Due Diligence
Asset Tracing
Litigation Support
Human Source Intelligence

We assisted an international law firm on an ongoing civil litigation case.

The client, a group of investors from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), had been defrauded out of tens of millions of pounds, which had been laundered through Europe. Our investigation took place in the CIS, Russia, Europe and the UK, and involved in-depth investigation and on the ground enquiries to map out the fraud and the flow of money. In order to support a freezing order application, our team used open and closed source research, corporate records searches, in-country assets, social media analytics and covert methodology to identify tangible assets in excess of GBP 100 million.

This then supported an international freezing order and successful resolution.
