Siobhain represented a company director who pleaded guilty to a £50 million pension fraud, prosecuted by the SFO.
Her client received a suspended prison sentence after the sentencing Judge heard detailed mitigation, (the co-defendant received a sentence in excess of 10 years). At the confiscation, the judge ordered that our client pay £218,522.00 in compensation and confiscation from restrained assets, a much reduced figure than originally sought by the SFO.
The excellent Mark Smith of Counsel, 5 St. Andrews Hill, was the instructed advocate.
