The Allegation | Kangs Business Crime Solicitors

  • Our client was alleged, in connection with others, to have fraudulently avoided paying the local authority hundreds of thousands of pounds relating to business rates.
  • It was alleged our client was an integral figure in the alleged fraud because of his links and association with others.

How We Assisted Our Client | Kangs Complex Crime Solicitors

By way of assistance to our client, the team at Kangs Solicitors:

  • attended our client obtaining detailed instructions upon the circumstances leading to the allegations and advised him upon his position and the appropriate course to adopt in order to present his defence,
  • formulated a strategic plan of action,
  • approached the Complex Crime Unit Team seeking further disclosure of evidence upon which it relied, 
  • attended with our client during interview,
  • prepared and submitted detailed and compelling Representations supporting his denial of the allegations. 

The Successful Outcome | Kangs Company Offences Defence Solicitors

  • Having considered the detailed Representations submitted by the team at Kangs Solicitors and the approach adopted during interview, the Complex Crime Unit accepted our client’s explanation denying involvement in the fraud.
