RICARDO SALINAS PLIEGO, ENYO LAW, LK LAW AND UK BARRISTERS ACCUSED OF PERVERTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE IN $400M USD COURT SCANDAL
London, United Kingdom – Astor Asset Management 3 Ltd is set to accuse Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, his former and current UK law firms – Enyo Law LLP and LK Law LLP – and a roster of high-profile barristers of perverting the course of justice and committing perjury in connection with a $400 million USD dispute now before the British courts.
In what Astor describes as an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the UK legal system, Salinas allegedly deployed Israeli intelligence firm Black Cube – known for its ex-Mossad operatives – to intoxicate, manipulate, and covertly record Astor’s lead solicitor and a key witness under false pretenses, violating legal, ethical, and professional standards.
A Coordinated Attack on Justice
According to evidence held by Astor, Salinas and his legal representatives:
- Hired Black Cube to pose as potential clients using fake identities in a calculated ruse designed to entrap Astor’s solicitor and key witness, extracting privileged legal strategies while secretly recording conversations, in clear violation of UK law.
- LK Law LLP submitted falsified transcripts of these recordings in court during Salinas’ application for summary judgment — transcripts that appear to have been edited, misleading, and unlawfully obtained.
- Despite knowing the materials were acquired through deception and espionage, LK Law LLP submitted them as evidence — which Astor alleges constitutes deliberate perjury, a breach of ethical and legal duties, and a serious obstruction of justice, striking at the core of the solicitor-client relationship.
Solicitors and Barristers Named
The following legal professionals are now under scrutiny for their alleged roles in the conspiracy:
Barristers:
- Stephen Robins KC
- John Wardell KC
- Adam Cloherty KC
- Henry Phillips
- Matthew Abraham
- Ryan Perkins
- Richard Greenberg
- Stephanie Wilkins
Solicitors:
- Andrew John Ford (LK Law LLP)
- Former representatives at Enyo Law LLP
Astor alleges that these individuals have committed one or all of the following wrongs, conspired, reviewed, relied on, orchestrated, participated in, and submitted confidential and privileged to UK court information extracted through deception and covert surveillance — a direct violation of UK Solicitors Regulation Authority and UK Bar Standards Board rules, as well as Australian Legal Profession Conduct Commissioner (LPCC).
A Dangerous Precedent
Astor describes the events as a “historic perversion of the course of justice, first of its kind in the UK,” and warns that allowing such tactics to go unpunished would “legitimize mercenary espionage in British courtrooms — with judges being next.”
Astor notes that Black Cube already has a documented history of attacking and discrediting judges, and that its CEO, Dr. Avi Yanus, has admitted to criminal conduct in Romania and faces repeated allegations of fraud and deceit.
Regulatory and Criminal Action Incoming
Astor confirms it holds comprehensive evidence, including:
- Secretly recorded transcripts proving unlawful surveillance
- Witness testimony confirming Black Cube’s covert operations and tactics
Full disclosures are being prepared for submission to:
- UK Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA)
- UK Bar Standards Board (BSB)
- UK Police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)
- Australian Legal Profession Conduct Commissioner (LPCC)
- Australian Police
- UK Parliamentary watchdogs and select committees
- International human rights and legal oversight bodies
Materials have also been placed under embargo with select legal journalists in the UK, US, Australia, and EU, pending formal proceedings.
