A recent high-profile ruling has shown the British justice system’s effectiveness, as the City of London Magistrates’ Court ordered the release of $1,199,965 to Nigerian Senator Prince Ned Nwoko, that was frozen in an account belonging to Mr. Keith Davies.

The money, originally transferred by Ned Nwoko to a middleman named Abubakar, was subsequently transferred to Davies, who held himself out as a broker. However, the funds were frozen by authorities pending the resolution of the ownership dispute.
