Politicians - Crime - Misconduct in Public Office
Dear HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate,
1, Please give the data surrounding how many politicians over the past 20 years or 7 years (if that is all you have) that cps have been approached from police with in reference to the Crime - Misconduct in Public Office.
2 ,How many of these approaches have the CPS taken forward?
3, How many successful convictions have cps have on their record of this Crime with dates please.
4, How many of these successful convictions were politicians?
Thankyou for this information. We are doing some research into Why do politicians as Public Officers act or fail to act as if this crime does not exist?
Are they being protected by the systems/Gov intereference/External interference etc?
Whereas Joe Average's in Public Officer roles do fear this crime. Do politicians believe that they are untouchable when it comes to this crime?
Regards,
Gavin Roberts
