The amazing tale of Mukhtar Ablyazov, a Kazakh oligarch alleged
to have committed a multi-billion dollar fraud, was the subject of
a seminar jointly hosted by Bedell Cristin and KPMG at the Pomme
D'Or on 5 November 2014 attended by more than 100 bankers,
trust professionals and corporate service providers.
Chaired by Bedell Cristin Senior Partner Anthony Dessain, the audience heard from the
Receivers, David Standish and John Milsom of KPMG LLP, about the
story of their appointment as receivers and managers of Mr
Ablyazov's assets, and how they have been able to use their
forensic skills to break through secret nominee arrangements and
track down his web of assets around the globe, including Jersey. It
has involved collecting over 6 million documents in relation to
over 1,000 companies located in complex structures onshore and
offshore.
