| Fraudnet - straightforward
solutions for the increasing numbers of fraud victims |
London,
5 March 2004
- ICC Commercial Crime Services (CCS) has announced the launch of Fraudnet,
a new initiative that will assemble an unrivalled team of specialists
to combat fraud, money laundering and cybercrime.
Composed of an international
network of legal experts in the areas of business crime and fraud, Fraudnet
will be a vital resource to CCS members, as well as numerous other commercial
and governmental interests.
CCS Assistant Director
Peter Lowe said: "CCS is currently in the process of identifying
and inviting suitable law firms to participate in Fraudnet. In addition
to new business opportunities, participating parties will also be awarded
exclusive representation in their country or area."
Mr Lowe added: "CCS
frequently receives inquiries from individuals and companies believing
that they have been defrauded. Quite often these individuals do not know
where to turn for redress and recovery of their assets. Fraudnet will
allow us to refer them to legal professionals with intimate knowledge
of their specific jurisdiction."
Many fraud cases involve
complex offshore havens that can present a complex legal minefield for
victims. Successful prosecution and asset recovery in these situations
requires the expertise and experience found in only a small number of
legal firms.
A positive step in
tackling the global problem of fraud and asset recovery, Fraudnet hopes
to provide effective and straightforward solutions to the increasing numbers
of victims being targeted by fraudsters.
Mr Lowe noted: "To
the best of my knowledge, Fraudnet will be the first network of its kind.
Our goal is to offer a trouble-free method of finding the right people
quickly. We also want to simplify and speed up the process of tracking
down fraudsters before the trail goes cold. This is an exciting new venture
for CCS and we are already seeing significant interest and support."
