In this episode, GRIP’s commissioning editor Jean Hurley spoke with Tony McClements, former detective and head of investigations at Martin Kenney & Co, a specialist litigation practice in the British Virgin Islands which specializes in large-scale global asset recovery litigation.
We discussed:

- differences between civil, public and private criminal prosecutions;
- romance fraud and pig butchering;
- asset tracing in the UK and the US – how social media can be useful;
