Crime & Fraud Cases
  • for a professional man who faced his second allegation of possession of child pornography, he had been previously convicted of a similar offence some years ago. However as a result of Unan’s careful defence preparation, the Sentencing Judge upon reading a detailed report prepared by an eminent Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist and upon hearing from the excellent Nicola Cafferkey of Counsel (33 Bedford Row) decided that a suspended sentence of imprisonment coupled with stringent conditions, including psychiatric treatmen, would be the most appropriate sentence.
Siobhain Egan was instructed
  • by a professional man whose bank account was restrained and frozen upon suspicion of money laundering by a specialist unit of Thames Valley police. There was a substantial amount of money restrained (over £250,000), however the Financial Investigator only began to investigate the case towards the end of the initial three month period of restraint ,failed to apply for a further second restraint period in the prescribed manner, and missed the all important deadline. The superb Barnaby Hone of Counsel (5 St Andrew’s Hill) convinced the Judge that such failures meant that the application for a further period of restraint to enable the Financial Investigator to continue with his investigation must fail, the Judge agreed and discharged the restraint order .
Siobhain Egan represented
  • a newly qualified Medical Professional who was investigated for systematic dishonesty and fraud, by an independent investigative authority. As a result of detailed negotiations and representations, made by Siobhain, it was agreed that the authority would withdraw their potential criminal prosecution and agreed to a civil settlement.
