A FTSE 100 multinational speciality chemicals and sustainable technologies company encountered an attempted theft of precious substances by a sophisticated organised criminal gang.

Our client, a large healthcare company, had been defrauded by another business for circa £50m. The individuals involved were based in London, but also had links with the Middle East, and other overseas jurisdictions including the US, Europe, and offshore.

Our investigations team were instructed by an offshore insolvency practise to locate a beneficiary who was entitled to a substantial sum of money.
