Case Study: Justice for Investment Fraud Against David Hugo Hargreaves

Alan Jaques, a businessman from Nottinghamshire, was misled into investing £10,000 by David Hugo Hargreaves in 2021. Hargreaves, posing as a credible entrepreneur, claimed the funds would be invested in a reputable scheme managed by investor Siam Kidd. Months later, Alan grew suspicious due to the lack of paperwork and transparency, only to discover from Kidd that the funds had been returned to Hargreaves, who had since cut off communication.

In 2024, Hargreaves was convicted of criminal fraud. James Watson of Watson Woodhouse Solicitors supported Alan through the legal process, ensuring justice was served.
