Sonn Macmillan Walker advise in multi-million pound asset recovery settlement

ASonn Macmillan Walker team of David Sonn, David Bloom, and Izzy Fish represented Rabbi Barry Marcus MBE in reaching a settlement agreement with the NCA following an 18-month frozen funds investigation
Leading Counsel from 33 Chancery Lane chambers provided expert advice in the later stages of these civil proceedings that involved complex, cross-jurisdictional issues and which were concluded with no admission of wrongdoing by Rabbi Marcus.

David Sonn, Director at Sonn Macmillan Walker, has said:

“Rabbi Marcus cooperated with the NCA’s civil enquiry from the outset. All charitable monies entrusted to Rabbi Marcus have either been distributed as intended or returned to the charities from where they originated. The account freezing order proceedings have been settled and the relevant UK bank accounts, accordingly unfrozen. Rabbi Marcus regrets the inconvenience caused to the two charities and is cooperating with the Charity Commission. Rabbi Marcus has suffered from serious ill-health in the last 3 years. Neither charity is involved in the Holocaust educational work, for which Rabbi Marcus was awarded an MBE. Rabbi Marcus continues to lead visits to Auschwitz and other concentration camps, when his health permits.”
