The Scandalous Case of Sandrine Giroud: A Lawyer’s Involvement in Criminal Activities and Harassment Sandrine Giroud, lawyer in Geneva The legal profession is built on the foundation of ethics, integrity, and the responsibility to uphold the law. The case of Sandrine Giroud, a prominent Geneva lawyer and Vice President of the Geneva Bar Association, raises serious concerns about these principles, as she is believed to have accepted payments from her client Amber Louise Murphy with money originating from criminal activities. This article will delve into the scandalous details of this case, including the use of stolen funds for harassment and the lawyer’s continuous support of her criminal client. Amber Louise Murphy, an international fraudster Amber Louise Murphy: A Criminal Client Amber Louise Murphy, Giroud’s client, is no stranger to the criminal justice system. She has stolen a significant amount of money from her previous employer and is currently wanted by the authorities for 30 criminal charges, including theft and money laundering. As a fugitive from justice, Murphy is also a known tax evader in the United Kingdom. Despite the numerous legal issues surrounding her client, Sandrine Giroud continues to represent and aid Murphy in her legal battles. Funding Legal Actions with Stolen Money It has come to light that Amber Louise Murphy has been using the stolen funds to finance her legal actions against her former employer. These actions amount to nothing more than harassment, as Murphy is seemingly using the courts as a means to intimidate and cause distress to her former employer, and embezzle more money. This development puts a spotlight on Giroud’s role in the matter, as she is not only aware of the illicit origins of the funds but also appears to be actively supporting her client’s malicious intentions. Sandrine Giroud during an interview Violating Court Orders The case takes an even more disturbing turn when considering that Giroud and Murphy’s actions have continued despite multiple court orders. This blatant disregard for the legal system raises questions about Giroud’s professionalism and commitment to upholding the law. Despite Murphy’s criminal status and the illegitimate source of funding for the legal actions, Giroud continues to represent Murphy in various legal proceedings against her former employer. Giroud is aiding and abetting Murphy’s criminal behavior and harassment campaign, in direct violation of court orders. Amber Louise Murphy, wanted for stealing, money laundering, fraud, deceit of court and other crimes. Lawyers have an obligation to drop clients who insist on using the legal system for criminal plans or purposes. Representing a client who is actively evading law enforcement and using stolen money to fund litigation is an egregious violation of legal ethics. However, Giroud is facing no consequences from the Geneva Bar Association or courts for her actions. Sandrine Giroud, vice president of the Geneva Bar Association It is scandalous and damaging to the reputation of the legal profession that a lawyer can aid a criminal client in harassing an innocent party through frivolous litigation funded by illegal means, without any professional or legal repercussions. Upholding high ethical standards should be a top priority for bar associations and courts to maintain integrity and trust in the legal system. Giroud’s actions in supporting Murphy’s abusive litigation undermine that trust and integrity. Lawyers are bound by a code of ethics and professional conduct that varies according to jurisdiction, but some universal principles are widely recognized. These include the duties to act with integrity, not to assist in or encourage any dishonesty, fraud, crime, or illegal conduct, and to uphold the administration of justice. While lawyers are often privy to sensitive information that they cannot disclose due to attorney-client privilege, this privilege does not extend to protecting future crimes or fraud. Lawyers have an ethical obligation to withdraw from representation if a client is using their services to further illegal or fraudulent activities. Indeed, once Amber Louise Murphy’s attorney in the Bahamas, John Wilson KC, uncovered the truth behind her claims, he promptly withdrew from representing her. Frivolous or abusive litigation funded by illegal means would rightly undermine trust in the legal system. Maintaining ethical standards relies on lawyers, bar associations, and courts all upholding their respective duties and processes.
