Recent highlights include a multi-defendant murder trial in the Central Criminal Court, a multi-million pound customs and excise diversion fraud, an advance fee fraud (Ponzi type) and associated mortgage frauds in which the convictions were followed by a £2 million confiscation, and several long-running, multi-defendant drugs trials.
