In addition, Niederer Kraft Frey Ltd in Zurich, B2R in Poland, and Lextal in Estonia give us an even more impressive reach in Europe. 

Gary Miller the Chair of the IFG says “Not only has Covid not inhibited our growth it has in fact fuelled the single biggest increase of members in such a short period that we’ve ever experienced and we are by no means finished yet. We are firmly on the road to establishing the IFG as the premier International Asset Recovery and Fraud Investigation Network in the World.”
