Profiling is used in many different businesses. In the consultancy business you encounter profiling when a consultant is to do a job and learn (or teach) the basics about an organization.

Stronger evidence in courtrooms—it’s what every attorney, defendant, and plaintiff dreams of. Beginning in the last 1980s, this is exactly what began to surface through DNA profiling. Over the past 20 years, courts have been able to rely upon the consistent accuracy of DNA and criminal profiling, also known as DNA fingerprinting, to solve crimes.

Mr Deripaska insists he is the victim of an elaborate extortion scheme by Michael Cherney - a former friend, mentor and business partner.

The case came at the same time as Oleg was preparing a three-way merger to turn his company into the world’s biggest producer of primary aluminium.

Is Michael Cherney’s plan to cause embarrassment to Oleg Deripaska in a bid to receive an out of court payment - or is he simply envious of Oleg’s Success?
