Ricardo Salinas Accused of Hiring Black Cube to Influence UK Legal Case in USD $115M Loan Dispute

Ricardo Salinas Pliego is alleged to have hired Black Cube to target a lawyer under false pretences, corrupt courts, and escape accountability in a potentially historic abuse of the judicial process

Vancouver, British Columbia Jun 19, 2025 (Issuewire.com)  - Mexican oligarch Ricardo Salinas Pliego has been exposed for allegedly orchestrating a criminal perversion of the British justice system, hiring the Mossad-linked mercenary firm Black Cube to intoxicate, secretly record, embarrass, and sabotage the lead UK lawyer and key witness for Astor Asset Management 3 Ltd.

THE DESPERATE DEFAULT

Astor Asset Management 3 Ltd claims that after facing catastrophic default on a USD $115M loan after missed payments and multiple breaches, Salinas:

  • Artificially inflated collateral value through Grupo Elektra stock manipulation

  • Concealed massive Mexican tax liabilities threaten Elektra’s solvency

  • Sought a UK injunction using deceptive affidavits, falsely claiming ignorance of loan terms

  • Fell out with Enyo Law, his previous law firm, which he later resigned from—allegedly refusing to participate in the Black Cube operation

THE PERVERSION OF THE COURSE OF JUSTICE

To derail Astor’s case, Salinas and his London law firms—Enyo Law and LK Law—allegedly directed Black Cube operatives to execute:

  • Intoxication via Deception: Spies posed as potential clients, playing Astor’s lawyer with alcohol and secretly recording him. The Black Cube agent used fictitious names to deceive the lawyer into believing he was a legitimate client. The deception succeeded, leading to multiple meetings during which privileged information was extracted, contrary to UK law.

  • Repeat Meetings Under False Pretenses: Key witnesses were approached multiple times using fake names to obtain information and harass them.

  • Secret Recordings: Covert devices captured privileged case strategies, legal defenses, and weaknesses, shattering attorney-client confidentiality

  • State-Style Sabotage: The deliberate intoxication and covert surveillance escalated into full-scale espionage

BLACK CUBE: ARCHITECTS OF INJUSTICE

This same criminal outfit has:

  • Been convicted in Romania for hacking state prosecutors (2021)

  • Intimidated Harvey Weinstein’s victims

  • Been sanctioned for illegal operations across Europe
    Now, it is weaponized to pervert the course of justice on UK soil

ASTOR’S STATEMENT

“Salinas and LK Law potentially engineered an act of perjury and perversion of justice—deploying ex-Mossad spies to intoxicate our lawyer in order to extract privileged information. Salinas believes wealth buys impunity. We will expose every criminal act and drag every accomplice into the light.”
Astor Asset Management 3 Ltd

WHY THIS IS A LEGAL ARMAGEDDON

  • Perversion of Sacred Trust: First-ever weaponization of attorney-client privilege for espionage in UK commercial litigation

  • Officers of the Court as Spies: Enyo Law and LK Law—sworn to uphold justice—allegedly participated in and directed the deceit and covert recordings

  • Mercenary Justice: Sabotage and deceit have turned courtrooms into criminal battlegrounds

  • Serial Perversion of Justice: Ricardo Salinas’s record of SEC fraud penalties and bribery accusations reveals a pattern of corruption and impunity

Salinas and his law firms, Enyo Law and LK Law (operated by Andrew John Ford, Adam Nathan Flacks, Hana Kapadia, and Disa Greaves), allegedly used privileged and confidential information obtained from Astor’s intoxicated lawyer via covert recordings.

Barristers involved include:
Stephen Robins KC, John Wardell KC, Adam Cloherty KC, Henry Phillips, Hana Kapadia, Adam Nathan Flacks, Disa Greaves, Matthew Abraham, Ryan Perkins, Richard Greenberg, Edward John Whitney Allen, and Stefanie Wilkins.

These individuals allegedly directed Black Cube, reviewed Astor’s privileged legal information, and submitted altered transcripts of the recordings to the UK High Court during Salinas’s Application for Summary Judgment. This conduct is unprecedented in the United Kingdom—and likely worldwide.

Enyo Law, which represented Salinas during the intelligence operation, allegedly breached the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s Code of Conduct by participating in covert espionage. Lawyers are bound by strict ethical rules prohibiting review or use of an opponent’s privileged information.

LK Law took the misconduct further. Andrew John Ford of LK Law personally signed a Witness Statement submitting the unlawfully recorded transcripts to the court.

Astor’s lawyers have condemned the scheme as “pure extortion and a perversion of justice,” constituting conduct worse than witness tampering. They describe it as perjury at the highest levels.

THE EVIDENCE

Astor holds irrefutable proof of this justice-perversion conspiracy. Full documentation is being released to regulators and accredited media under strict embargo.

Disclaimer: These are allegations currently under legal review and have not been proven in court. All parties are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.
