Cyber Crime

Speed matters more in cyber cases than almost anywhere else: money moves between accounts within hours, and evidence on platforms is kept only for limited periods. We move quickly on complaints, preservation requests and court applications.

Many people come to us not as victims or accused but because their bank account has been frozen on a police request from another state. Tracing the order and applying for release is a large part of this practice.

• Online financial fraud Complaints on the 1930 helpline and the national cyber crime portal, and follow-up with the police.
• Frozen bank accounts Tracing the freezing order and applying to the court for release of the account.
