I am doing a company trace for a friend who is being swindled by management charges for his property. A string of companies leads back to one person ( an accountant) and goes full circle to a Panamanian Company (you can’t get details of directors of a Panamanian Company by law).

However the UK companies are owned by the accountant does not comply with UK law, eg registered address incorrect, company details not on correspondence and websites etc etc. The DTI seem powerless.

It seems ironic that if a cleaner is on benefits and is earning an illegal £20 per week there is a telephone number to grass on her and the whole weight of the CPS goes into force but if a city accountant is fiddling millions then nothing can be done.

Oh come on, this has been going on forever. I made a quip at university about how the middle classes fiddle travel expenses, yet fare evaders on buses get disproportionate fines; I might as well of told them their grandmother was a whore.
