ENRC Ltd

The SFO is conducting a criminal investigation into ENRC Ltd (previously ENRC PLC). The investigation is focused on allegations of fraud, bribery and corruption around the acquisition of substantial mineral assets.

On 18 September 2018, the SFO charged Benedict Sobotka (38), CEO of Eurasian Resources Group, after he failed to appear for interview without reasonable excuse when required, an offence contrary to Section 2(13) of the Criminal Justice Act 1987. Mr Sobotka has been summonsed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court at 9:30am on Tuesday 9 October.

Mr Sobotka had previously been wanted on warrant. The warrant was withdrawn by the SFO, and proceedings recommenced by way of summons.
