In a highly publicised case, the jury at Leeds Crown Court have acquitted our client James Stunt of all charges.
In one of the most high profile and largest trials ever held for alleged money laundering, in excess of £200 million, James Stunt was exonerated by the jury in both his first and second trials and cleared of the charges of forgery and money laundering in the two trials respectively
At the conclusion of the case the Judge made a Defendants Costs Order in our client’s favour.
Our client has bravely and with fortitude endured a long and traumatic ordeal, the allegations against him having first been raised as long ago as 2016. He has steadfastly proclaimed his innocence over the many years and he is extremely grateful to the jury for their vindication.
The team at Janes was headed by Fiona Gavriel who has worked tirelessly and with dedication on the case for some 6 years and she has been supported by Bruce James, Simon Barker and everyone in the firm.
James Solicitors instructed Trevor Burke KC of 3 Raymond Buildings and Hannah Thomas of 2 Hare Court to whom the client is also most grateful.
