Global Fraud Defense of Czech Client
Problem/Challenge

Defend a Czech client from enforcement of a Czech criminal money judgment, hold the Czech government and state actors accountable for bringing previous potentially politically motivated actions against him, as well as restore his reputation and right to travel and do business.

Solution

Kobre & Kim’s team devised a global strategy to catalogue evidence of persecution by Czech state actors, and focused on finding powerful allies in government and elsewhere, along with media and investigative journalists, to advance the client’s case and narrative. 

Chapter 1

The case team developed a chart mapping the relationships and cash flows between state actors and various individuals and entities globally. The chart formed a central part of the narrative that revealed potential false charges against the client and informed further strategic decisions.

Chapter 2

By forming strategic alliances with real power who have an interest in advancing the client’s narrative, particularly high-level individuals, sovereign governments, international organizations and political parties, pressure can be mounted on the Czech government and state actors to hold them accountable for allegedly persecuting the client.

Chapter 3

Cooperation with media and investigative journalists formed the basis of a supporting strategy to the legal actions. These relationships can help repair the client’s reputation and support actions against the Czech government and state actors by generating publicity.

Chapter 4

The team proposed the drafting of a “catalogue of persecution,” compiling research on press records and other files that might show the persecution of the client. Additional information can be obtained by deploying investigators on the ground to find proof of persecutory actions or sham trials in the Czech Republic.
