| Abstract: | On Thursday 25th May, the US Courts found Mr. Jeffrey Skilling and Mr. Kenneth Lay (since deceased), executives of Enron, guilty of fraud and conspiracy. The fall of Enron in 2001, which was one of the first cases in a line of corporate scandals that materialized from the euphorious behavior of the financial markets of the 1990s, brought economic crime into the lime light. Wide coverage by the media of economic crime has not only been due to the long list of cases which emerged soon after Enron. In fact, the spotlight was also drawn on the many changes that were made to the international financial services legal order with the purpose of ensuring that ‘Enron’ would not be repeated. |
