History

Historical Context

Enron’s collapse after its December 2 2001 Chapter 11 filing spurred the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act to tighten corporate oversight. Decades later, coordinated actions by India’s CBI, Interpol and London’s Circuit Commercial Court seized assets and ordered billionaire-fraudster Nirav Modi to pay $10.7 million, while securing Sandeep Mistry’s extradition, showing how transnational fraud now triggers robust, cross-border enforcement.
