Fraud - what can Ralli do to help you?

The Fraud Act 2006, which came into force on the 15th January 2007, has to a large extent brought the prosecution of white collar crime up to date, although the offence of conspiracy can still be charged.

Betesh Fox, (now Ralli) have been at at the forefront of this for many years having been instructed in BCCI Arrows, Eagle Trust, Kevin Taylor (the Stalker Affair), Alliance Resource, RPD Australia and many more. We are used to dealing with FSO investigations particularly in the mining, property and financial services industries, but our experience and expertise has included automotives, secondary and sub prime lending and high profile 'political' cases.

We have been retained in recent years by individuals under investigation for 'Boiler Room' activities. We have built up a considerable knowledge about this type of operation and the investigative process surrounding such enterprises from within and outside the UK and EU.

We are familiar with advanced fee and phishing frauds, rogue trader and investment scams and international arrest warrants as well as extradition proceedings. We attend interviews under caution conducted by the numerous investigative authorities and we will often bring into an investigation expertise from other departments within Ralli e.g. Insolvency, Corporate and Employment.

Fraud on the internet has become an increasing area of concern, and a complex and difficult area.

We represented one client recently who was alleged to have been involved with others in the USA and Germany in respect of internet crime targetting Tiscali and Ebay. However, with Ralli's assistance from the outset, our client was able to show that he should not be prosecuted despite a lengthy international investigation carried out by the authorities in Germany, the USA and the UK working in tandem.
