We were instructed by two senior finance professionals investigated following an allegation of fraud. As a result of detailed and robust defence representations, the prosecution authority agreed to drop the investigation.
One of the most important and underestimated facets of excellent defence practice is to try and persuade the investigating authority that there isn't a case to answer, or that there is a bona fide defence to the fraud allegation (there often is, when dealing with corporate fraud and financial professionals). It's imperative to do this at the beginning of the investigation and to maintain a courteous, co-operative yet determined stance throughout with the authorities.
