We’ve been involved in many of the recent prosecutions for major conspiracies in the Midlands and nationwide:
Operation Breadbun
Conspiracy Solicitor advocate Chris Milligan was instructed by a large Nottingham Firm to represent one of the Defendants in a multi-defendant Kidnap and Blackmail case involving a serious and organised crime group.
This was a Nottinghamshire Police case which spanned nearly 3 years. The prosecution case alleged that an underworld figure from the Vietnamese community had been kidnapped and falsely imprisoned and then subjected to torture whilst large sums of money were demanded.
The case involved detailed examination of cell site data, ANPR images and data and telephone CDRs. The case was tried 4 times, eventually resolving at Stafford Crown Court. Chris Milligan dealt with the appeal in the case and was the only advocate who successfully obtained permission to appeal to the full court.
