    How to Overcome Flaws in the Companies House Search Engine to Reveal Hidden UBOs

    Wren: Dickens Suite

    Identifying beneficial ownership of international corporate structures and assets has never been more crucial than it is today. Many researchers check Companies House on a daily basis, performing due diligence checks on companies and individuals in compliance with AML and Sanctions regulations. Yet most are unaware that the Companies House internal search engine is unable to identify core information contained within its own dataset. As a result, it will fail to return relevant results for searches for Persons with Significant Control and Beneficial Owners. Can your investigation afford to miss that potentially crucial piece of information? Dylan Kennedy presents key examples and discusses the challenge of revealing hidden UBOs in detail.

    The Incredible Hunt for Billionaire Russian Criminal Viktor Bout (And His Subsequent Release for a U.S. Basketball Player)

    Wren: Nelson Suite

    Russian billionaire Viktor Bout was the world's foremost arms dealer. Known as the 'Merchant of Death', he was both 'Public Enemy No. 1' to the global intelligence agencies who hunted him and a ruthless criminal worth a fortune. He was also a former KGB officer and a tool of the Kremlin.

    This session will go into 'Operation Relentless', the remarkable top-secret mission masterminded by former British Special Air Service elite soldier Mike Snow and a handful of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration operatives to hunt down Bout and bring him to justice - and discuss his release many years later in a seemingly lop-sided prisoner swap with U.S. basketball player Brittney Griner.

    Attorney From Hell: Stephen David Jones

    Wren

    The incredible story of dishonest English attorney Stephen David Jones, the senior partner of Jirehouse law firm who was sentenced to 12 years in prison at London's Southwark Crown Court last year when an American billionaire client he swindled out of £13 million brought a private prosecution after the Police and Crown Prosecution Service inexplicably failed to act.

    The session will be presented by Steven Kay KC, a criminal lawyer who led the private prosecution, and Nick Kochan, an English investigative journalist and author who has written about the case.
