A recent news story reported the case of Mr. Andrew Ager, an ‘expert’ witness who was found out to be a complete fraud. Mr. Ager was the trusted provider of evidence for a carbon credit trial, investigating the investment opportunities between November 2011 and February 2014.

His false qualifications were brought to light when the defence lawyers for Steven Sully, one of the eight men acquitted of fraud at Southwark Crown Court, questioned Mr Ager about his background. It was then revealed Mr Ager had never read a book on carbon credits but had once watched a documentary about the permits. Mr. Ager had been used in up to 20 fraud prosecutions as an ‘expert’ witness but those prosecutions are now in question.*
