The Attorney General has announced the appointment of Nick Ephgrave, a former police officer, as the forthcoming director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO). Ephgrave, previously an assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service, will commence his duties in September, succeeding Lisa Osofsky whose five-year term is ending. Ephgrave will also undertake an initial five-year term. This appointment comes in contrast to expectations from many within the industry, who had predicted a lawyer to replace Osofsky.
