HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate published its report on the SFO on 20 November 2012. The report can be read here; the accompanying press release is here. From the press release:
“The inspection found significant process failures and other weaknesses, which the agency needs to address to improve performance. The Inspectorate also identifies strengths, for example in analysis and presentation of evidence.
The report makes eight recommendations, all of which the new SFO Director, David Green QC, has accepted. Changes instigated in the past few months have begun to address the issues of concern.”
These posts capture some of the reasons why the SFO was inspected.
