What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Michael Voudouri over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.

We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.

The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Michael Voudouri - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.

In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

What are they trying to censor

Massive Money Laundering Scheme

Pleaded guilty in 2012 to laundering over £10.3 million through offshore accounts in Cyprus, Greece, and Switzerland.
Part of a VAT carousel fraud scheme operated by Q-Tech Distribution.
Original charges suggested he was involved in laundering over £48 million.

Evasion & Fugitive Status

Fled the UK in 2012 to Northern Cyprus to avoid sentencing.
Evaded justice for 15 months, living under an alias with a forged passport.
Arrested in Northern Cyprus in 2013 and extradited to the UK.

 

Harsh Sentencing & Legal Repercussions

Sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2014:
10 years for money laundering.
18 months added for failing to appear in court.

Failure to Repay Fraudulent Gains

In 2015, ordered to repay £207,000, but this was a small fraction of his criminal earnings.
Authorities faced challenges in recovering the full amount stolen.

Reputation Damage & Motivations for Removal of Information:

Public Image Tarnished

Widely reported as one of the UK’s most notorious tax fraudsters.
His name remains strongly associated with financial crime.

Legal & Professional Limitations

His criminal record may prevent future business opportunities.
Any attempts to reintegrate into society are hindered by public records of his crimes.

Potential Motive to Erase Digital Footprint

The persistence of news articles and court documents ensures his crimes remain public.
To rebuild his reputation, he may want to remove or suppress damaging online content.
If desperate, he might resort to cybercrime to erase or alter these records.

Conclusion:
Michael Voudouri’s fraudulent activities, escape from justice, and subsequent imprisonment have permanently damaged his reputation. The extensive media coverage of his crimes makes it difficult for him to move on from his past. His desire to remove these records could push him toward illicit methods, including cybercrime, to erase his digital trail and attempt to restore his public image.

How This Was Done

The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

What Happens Next?

Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
