Marcus Asner, Co-Chair of White Collar Defense & Investigations, was featured on the first episode of Crime Spot meets SHERLOC, a monthly podcast produced by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in partnership with Crime Spot. The podcast series examines transnational organized crime investigations and draws on the expertise of the UNODC and the open source information gathered on its SHERLOC knowledge management portal.
In the episode titled “How to Catch the Bigger Fish,” Asner discusses one of the largest and most significant cases of fishing crime in history. Asner is investigating his role in leading the US investigation and prosecution of a large international bribery, game fish and smuggling program that resulted in substantial prison sentences for the main culprits and the confiscation of $ 7.4 million. The episode examines the impact of Asner’s work that led to a landmark appeals court ruling on the rights of environmental crime victims and the largest Lacey Act return price in United States history.
Asner served as the U.S. Assistant Attorney for the Southern Borough of New York, where he co-headed the Serious Crime and Computer Hacking / Intellectual Property Division (now known as Complex Frauds) and served on the Public Corruption Division for two years.
