Paul Raudnitz and Tom Doble acted for a former Supply Chain Manager, who faced charges of bribery contrary to the Bribery Act 2010. The allegations concerned the solicitation and receipt of corrupt payments from multiple supplier companies, over a number of months. The investigation was lengthy and complex, encompassing a large volume of electronic and highly technical material.
Following a series of substantial legal arguments concerning the scope of the investigation and disclosure exercise, the prosecution conceded that there was insufficient evidence to pursue two of the three charges, and a plea deal was negotiated which resulted in the resolution of the case.
Mr Raudnitz and Mr Doble were instructed by Raymond Shaw and Madeleine Corr of Shaw, Graham Kersh solicitors.
