§ The Solicitor-GeneralSixteen separate cases involving a total of 40 defendants are being prosecuted by the serious fraud office and are currently before the courts.
There are a number of other cases in which warrants for arrest or extradition have been issued, but not served; or which are still under investigation and in which no proceedings have been instituted. It would not be appropriate to identify such cases, as to do so might either attract adverse publicity to persons whom future inquiries may exonerate; or frustrate inquiries before suspected wrongdoers are apprehended.
