Fighting Financial Crime in Europe: Practical aspects of a pan European criminal law

Cambridge 21st - 22nd September 2009

Venue room: LG 17, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, 10 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DZ

Principal Organisers: Patricia Howse, (UK ACFE) and Professor John Spencer (University of Cambridge)

Are we inexorably heading towards a European criminal law ? What safeguards exist for the Defence in pan European investigations ? How does OLAF, the Community’s 10 year old anti fraud unit, go about its business ? What can we do to combat and reduce fraud in Europe ? Will the new European Evidence Warrant help – and how will it work ?

These questions and many others will be debated by practitioners, academics and policymakers from the UK and other Member States of the European Union, including:

Richard Alderman, Director SFO,
Mike Bowron, QPM, Commissioner of City of London Police,
Detective Superintendent David Clarke, City of London Police,
Dr Maria Gavouneli, Asst. Professor of International Law, University of Athens,
Dr Lothar Kuhl, OLAF,
Professor Mike Levi, University of Cardiff,
Monty Raphael, Peters & Peters,
Vivian Robinson, QC, General Counsel, SFO,
Professor John Spencer, University of Cambridge,
Dr Constantin Stefanou, IALS,
Dr Simone White, OLAF, 
Ros Wright, CB, QC., Fraud Advisory Panel,
Sandra Quinn, Attorney General's Office
Dr Helen Xanthaki, IALS
