Contact with SFO28 Jun 2021 13:21
I wrote to Sodofsky back in May and eventuallyreceived the following response, by email, from a minion.
"Thank you for your letter dated 12 May 2021, which was received on 14 May 2021, to the SFO Director concerning our investigation into Petrofac. I have been asked to respond on her behalf. I will also be sending a hard copy of this response through the post.
I can only reiterate our most recent response to you dated 22 April 2021 that we are committed to investigating each case thoroughly and precisely.
However, as has been explained to you on a number of previous occasions given the seriousness and complexity of the matters the SFO investigates it is not unusual for our cases to continue for some time. I recognise your frustration at the length of time required to properly conduct a thorough investigation in this instance. I am, however, unable to provide any information beyond that already published on the SFO’s website (or otherwise publicly available) and referred to in our previous letters to you.
I am very sorry I could not be of any more assistance on this, or previous occasions. However, this is a large investigation with many international dimensions, and the SFO continues to progress its inquiries in relation to this matter as expeditiously as possible.
I would again like to extend my sincerest sympathies to you for the difficult circumstances you are experiencing as a consequence of the matter under investigation. I have included with this letter an information sheet for victims and those affected by economic crime, which you may find useful. You may also wish to contact your local victim support service, I have included their contact details at the end of this letter.
I hope that you find this response helpful." (No-I didn't!!)
Their smug, patronising comment "However, as has been explained to you on a number of previous occasions......" (two to be precise!!) received an extremely robust response.
Their letter of 22nd April never arrived, ditto the promised hard copy of the email.
The "information sheet for victims" was not attached as indicated, instead they sent back a copy of my letter to them.
The contact details for the local victim support service were not attached as indicated
As it is blatantly obvious they are incapable of carrying out the simplest tasks I think they will still be buggering about this time next year.
