A former director of INKERMAN Ltd – the company that tries to spy on activist groups - Kevin Halligen is now set to stand trial in the US accused of defrauding a London law firm.
Halligen's DOD pass
It is claimed Halligen took £1.3m to secure the release of Dutch business executives arrested in the Ivory Coast but instead spent it on a mansion.
The 49-year-old’s company, Oakley International, was also employed in 2008 by Kate and Gerry McCann to find their three-year-old daughter, who disappeared in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007. But after six months, his contract was cancelled by the Find Madeleine Fund after he delivered nothing to the investigation.
Halligen, whose firm was based in Washington, was arrested in 2009 after months spent evading police. He was found staying at the plush Old Bank hotel in Oxfordshire, where he was known under a number of aliases.
In the Summer of 2002 Halligen and Major General John Holmes (ex Director of Special Forces) were recruited by Gerald Moore and Sir John Walker of Inkerman Group. With Halligen they appear on the July annual returns form as directors.
Inkerman also employed Rebecca Todd who was also exposed earlier this year for spying on the Climate Camp for E.ON, Scottish Power and Scottish Coal.
