Good morning
I have a query and wondered if anyone is able to help..
My client is subject to account freezing orders on three bank accounts.
The police have obtained production orders for all and they have the banking information.
They now want to conduct a voluntary interview and ask questions about the activity and make-up of the accounts and how the money has come to be in there.
I have asked for copies of the bank statements. Since the Client can no longer access his account and statements, I have said that it is vital that the Client is able to refer to the statements if he were to answer questions about the activity
within them.
The OIC has refused to provide such copies and says that he will not bring them into the interview as he says it runs into the hundreds of pages.
My question is:
Is the account holder (the client) entitled to receive copies of his account information/statements? Or is it more of a disclosure exercise and up to the OIC to disclose what he sees fit?
I’m open to receiving your views on any other representations I can make!
Thanks
