flag UK drops bribery charges against London Mining execs due to software flaws affecting evidence access.

flag The UK’s Serious Fraud Office is reviewing 20 cases after discovering technical flaws in its evidence software, Autonomy, which may have prevented some digital documents from being fully accessible during a decade-long bribery investigation. flag The issue led the SFO to drop charges against three former executives of London Mining, including former CEO Graeme Hossie, who were acquitted after over ten years of proceedings. flag While no critical evidence has been found missing, the SFO is ensuring no relevant material was overlooked. flag The company collapsed in 2014 amid an Ebola outbreak and poor market conditions. flag The prolonged case caused significant personal and financial strain on the defendants, with legal teams calling the process devastating. flag The SFO confirmed the current e-discovery system remains unaffected.
