With Serious Fraud Office (SFO) disclosure failings leading to the bribery conviction of an ex-Unaoil executive being quashed, The Times asked Aziz Rahman for his thoughts on the case.
Aziz said that the quashing of Ziad Akle’s conviction was a damning judgement on the SFO, especially as it prompted the Attorney General to begin a review of the agency.
He explained that the SFO now faces the challenge of having to persuade the Attorney General — and by extension the government — that it is fit for purpose.
The agency also has to convince the business world and its equivalent agencies in other countries – which it has to work with on cross-border investigations – that it is capable of doing the job it is required to do.
