Now that I'm back in London from the Loire I am able to provide some updates on my investdrinks blog of the Nouveau/Finbow fraud and money laundering trial:   

Defendants:
Simon Robert Dempsey
Rebecca Louise McDonald
Daniel Thomas Snelling

The case, before His Honour Judge Michael Grieve QC in Court 8, Southwark Crown Court (London SE1), is likely to conclude in some time in the first part of July. Evidence will probably finish this week or early of next. Speeches and judge's summing up will take up next week with the jury likely to retire in the first week in July to consider their verdict.

Reports are here (17.6.13) and here (18.6.13).
