SFO: UNAOIL REVIEW: SFO TOLD TO RECORD CONTACTS WITH DEFENDANTS AND SUSPECTS

On 21 July, Yahoo News reported that the SFO should record contact with defendants, suspects and their representatives as necessary and have effective disclosure strategies for all its cases, the attorney general has said following an independent review.  The SFO has been criticised over its handling of a number of high-profile cases.  A review by Dick Calvert-Smith highlighted 5 recurrent themes: record-keeping; compliance with casework assurance processes; resourcing; understanding about priorities; and distrust between the case team and senior management.
