Best-In-Class Criminal Fraud Attorneys at Bark & Co Solicitors Successfully defend individuals accused of £Multi-Million Carousel Duty Fraud

R –v- L & Others
The firm acted for 3 defendants allegedly linked to a MTIC carousel fraud conspiracy in which HM Revenue and Customs stated that in excess of £100 million VAT has not been declared. Following 2 years of proceedings, culminating in a 40 day abuse hearing, the judge stayed proceedings when the defence successfully identified a catalogue of prosecution errors in disclosure which meant that the defendants could not have a fair trial. The Judgment is being considered by HM Revenue and Customs and is expected to have potentially catastrophic ramifications for other MTIC frauds either under investigation or at the proceedings stage. This is an important result as this case was the first such case of its kind to be stayed after HM Revenue and Customs had introduced new methods in dealing with such cases.
