Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, what steps his Department is taking to ensure the prosecution of people responsible for the public disorder in Leicester around on 20 September 2022.
CPS East Midlands are working closely with Leicestershire Constabulary on this matter, who are responsible for the investigative strategy. Experienced local CPS prosecutors have been allocated in the Magistrates’ and Crown Court teams to deal with submissions for charging decisions when they are received from the police. There is ongoing daily liaison and planning between both organisations and information sharing to ensure offenders are brought to justice. |
