There is a court case presently being heard in the Court of Appeal in NZ.
Mr X is married to Mrs X. Mr X is a lawyer in the US. Mr X acceptes millions and millions of US dollars of bribe payments for who knows what. Officials in Texas put a request to Switzerland to put a freeze on a number of bank accounts while they conduct further investigations. They start to accumulate evidence that Mr X has been laundering money into accounts in relatives names etc and not just in his own name.
Mrs X has a bank account set up in the Bahamas. A trust company is set up in NZ - let us call it T.
Mrs X then launders money (successfully) into a Bank of New Zealand bank account set up for the trust company. The NZ Commissioner of police (I think) then orders a freeze to be placed on the account...
While... While, uh, while they try and figure if there's any way they get to keep the money??
Some cases for the court of appeal... Involving a husband and wife team of lawyers. Let us call them 'Mrs and Mr C'.
Two appeals. Listed in the proceedings as two distinct matters (to be heard together).Mrs C represents Mrs X v Mr C represents the NZ Commissioner of police.
That's the first proceeding. Second proceeding.
Mrs C represents the Commissioner of police and Mr C represents the Trust company.

Do you see a conflict??

NZ: Trying to prosecute corruption with corruption.
ffs.
