Deny, Evade, Threaten: Dan Neidle on His Nadhim Zahawi Investigation

During his months-long investigation into the former Tory Chairman Nadhim Zahawi’s tax affairs, which resulted in Zahawi’s sacking, Dan Neidle was sent many threatening legal letters. They claimed repeatedly that Zahawi’s taxes were in order and he was not under HMRC investigation – claims that we now know to be false.

The founder of Tax Policy Associates comes to #CIJSummer Conference to talk about his investigation, on how to find stories in complex tax arrangements, and how he responded to the libel threats by reporting both the lawyers involved, and the general practice of “secret libel letters”, to the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.
