NLJ this week: Lessons from the US when prosecuting complex fraud

In this week’s NLJ, David Corker, consultant, Corker Binning, looks at the challenges of prosecuting complex fraud. How this can be done more effectively is currently the subject of a government-commissioned review which Jonathan Fisher KC has been appointed to lead. In this article, Corker offers some useful points for the review to consider.

Corker writes: ‘This is a moment for blue-sky thinking.’ In this article, he touches on the Bankman-Fried crypto trial, comparing the approaches of the US authorities and the Serious Fraud Office. He makes some suggestions as to what the latter could do differently, including the use of immunities and the availability of criminal advocates.
