Lawyer Henry Clack has extensive experience with Nigerian criminal gangs. Clack, a solicitor at London-based law firm HFW, represents shipping companies struck by cyber crime.

Yet today, that ancient promise stands in question. The fate of Kyrylo Shevchenko, Ukraine’s former central banker, casts a long shadow over Austria and over Europe’s conscience.

But within months, the accolades gave way to accusations. After his sudden resignation that autumn, Kyiv…
