Articles / Corruption, Due Diligence, Kolomoyskyi, Russia, Ukraine, Zelensky / 09/2022

As Ukraine looks to rebuild both practically and socially (a reconstruction program requiring hundreds of billions of Euros is being put forward and there are tentative plans to restart the country’s football season), the biggest earthquake is yet to come.

A Question of Trust

Articles / Corporate Intelligence Services, Due Diligence, evidence, Intelligence, Investigations / 09/2022

A common refrain of our always-online, always-trending society is “Pictures or it didn’t happen” – the contention that whatever eventuality or experience the author is describing, requires evidence if it is not to be dismissed as a lie.

Articles / China, Corruption, Due Diligence, Global Threats, Russia:Ukraine conflict / 09/2022

While Russia is public enemy number one due to its invasion of Ukraine – and understandably so – there is a risk that other bad actors will slip under the radar as the Russian bogeyman dominates the international conversation. This is a risk confidently met by the heads of MI5 and the FBI who, in
