ABSTRACT
6.1 The experience of the last 30 years has shown that it is not only impossible to prevent cross-border fraudulent activity but also that it is an activity that is constantly growing in size and sophistication. The only way of effectively tackling the problem is through the criminal courts and by the prosecution and punishment of all those who are guilty of fraudulent activity. However there have been difficulties encountered by the courts by virtue of the cross-border nature of the activity. In this Chapter we will examine some of the problems that have been encountered and we will identify the areas in which English law may be used in order to solve such problems.
