The former head of white-collar crime at international firm Dechert has been accused of lying to the High Court to cover up his relationship with the Serious Fraud Office in the latest development in the ENRC civil claim.
In court last week Neil Gerrard denied allegations that he was ‘knowingly untruthful’ under oath when quizzed about SFO plans to interview the former head of compliance at Kazakh mining company Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC).
Gerrard was retained by ENRC in 2010 to conduct an internal investigation into allegations of wrongdoing at a subsidiary. ENRC is now suing the ex-partner and Dechert for negligence, alleging that Gerrard made unauthorised disclosures to the SFO – which is also being sued – and used its case as a ‘cash cow’ to justify his multi-million-dollar salary. The respondents have denied the allegations, describing the claim as ‘the stuff of conspiracy theories’.
