Introduction of deferred prosecution agreements in the United Kingdom in 2014 ; regulatory background and timeline; features of the DPAs ; differences with US DPAs.
There are a great many people today who do a great many things that are of incalculable value and offer lots of valid insights about the troubled world we live in today. Many even have some good ideas for what we can do to help stem the flood tide of evil encompassing us.
But very few, prior to Pastor Rick Tyler of Heritage Christian Church and the Reformed Church of Israel have offered up a comprehensive plan of action that hits on all eight cylinders so to speak for how the remnant can take a truly meaningful stand and wade into this battle of our time to WIN. Not merely persevere through it.
There are no silver bullets, but there are many real, tangible things that can be done with minimal resources that can produce real, tangible results.
The question is whether like-minded people can, as our forefathers once did, resolve to mutually pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in pursuance of that end and give sacrificially to the cause of truth and liberty and defending the Kingdom of Christ on earth.

Recently, the judgment of the Delhi High Court granted the bail to three activists, who have been in jail for over a year without trial, for their alleged role in the 2020 Delhi riots.
The judgment assumes significance because the charges were under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967. UAPA is criticized by the civil society as antithetical to constitutional freedom to dissent, rule of law and fair trial.
The Delhi high court judgement is a step in the right direction, but there are many issues associated with the UAPA.

Bark & Co Solicitors London: Deferred Prosecution Agreements // Current TV ryanboomer
The director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Solicitor General, Edward Garnier QC, have recently made no secret of the fact that they consider the criminal justice system to be incapable of dealing with corporate prosecutions in a way that refects commercial realities. The blunt impact of a prosecution of a company has the impact of damaging innocent parties including employees, shareholders and creditors. Garnier cited the cautionary example of the ill-effects of prosecution caused to Arthur Andersen, eventually acquitted on charges of obstruction of justice by the US Supreme Court, many years after the allegations had destroyed the company. US prosecutors have a tool at their disposal, the deferred prosecution agreement (DPA), which is being touted as a viable alternative to the present options of either prosecution or civil recovery. Much of the impetus for the reform has been caused by the difficulties faced by the SFO when they sought to prosecute Innospec. The SFO effectively had already agreed with the company, pre-sentencing, the nature of the sentence in return for a guilty plea. This was criticized by Thomas LJ who reminded the SFO that it is for the Judge to determine sentence at his discretion and especially that any plea must be “rigorously
scrutinized in open court”.
The US Approach
In the US, DPAs are considered a hugely important weapon in the armoury of a highly successful prosecutor – the Department of Justice, which entered into nine DPAs in 2009. The DPA does pretty much what it says on the tin, deferring criminal prosecution pending certain terms and conditions being agreed (and adhered to) and fled in a formal indictment at court. Typical conditions are that prosecution is deferred for two - three years with the payment of a fine commensurate with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, disgorgement of profits, a clear out of implicated directors, a possible pull-out from the market in which the wrongdoing is admitted, and the possible instruction of a court appointed monitor where the corporate does not have proper anti-corruption procedures presently in place.
The appointment of monitors has been particularly contentious in the US where there have been allegations of a lack of transparency in their appointment, cronyism and high cost. The costs charged by monitors is particularly eye-watering to UK onlookers. Innospec were charged $50m for the corporate monitor (described by the sentencing Judge as “an outrage”), agreed as part of their
DPA in the US.

There are many 'red-notes' for recovering the assets against financing-crime in Indonesia. The Asset Confiscation Bill represents a significant step forward by incorporating Non-Conviction-Based Asset Forfeiture. NCB-AF is a powerful tool in the fight against illicit activities, allowing the seizure of assets tied to criminal actions, even without a conviction. As we move forward, it is imperative to ensure that safeguards are in place to prevent any unintended infringements on human rights, preserving the principles of justice and fairness.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Introduction of Deferred Prosecution Agreements in the UK in 2014
1. Deferred Prosecution Agreements
now introduced in the
United Kingdom
By Iohann Le Frapper,
Chief Legal Officer for Gulf Bridge International
Vice-Chair, and Vice-Chair of the ICC Commission on
Corporate Responsibility and Anti-corruption
On April 2, 2014
2. Timeline of key milestones:
Bribery Act 2010
Crime and Courts Act 2013 (Section 45) introduced the concept of DPAs ;
14 February 2014 :DPAs Code of Practice issued by the Crown
Prosecutions Services (“CPS”) and the SFO ;
24 February 2014: DPAs came into force as a tool available for public
prosecutors and the Serious Fraud Office (“SFO”) and an option for
companies to consider. Prosecution will remain the main route
1 October 2014 : Definitive Guidelines issued by the Sentencing Council will
be applicable to all organisations sentenced on OR after that date, on the
ground of fraud, bribery and money-laundering (regardless of the date of the
offence).
- 10 steps to be followed
- Offence category to be determined by culpability and harm
3. What is a DPA ?
Voluntary agreement among the prosecutor and a corporate person
Criminal charges are brought but are suspended subject to satisfying
several compliance conditions (e.g. penalties, cooperation, remedial action,
monitor)
SFO Director emphasized 2 most important features of DPA :
i. Judicial oversight (to answer with court disapproval of cross-
jurisdictional settlement agreements) , and
ii. Unequivocal cooperation (i.e. timely self-reporting, proactive
compliance program, disclosure of full and frank internal investigation
findings, disciplinary actions will be expected)
4. Two stage-test for entering into DPA:
i. evidential stage :
– DPA may be offered if evidential test is met (reasonable suspicion of
committed corporate offence ; realistic prospect of conviction).
– If not, civil recovery action is a potential route for prosecutor (to recover
the proceeds of “unlawful conduct”)
ii. public interest stage:
– Early involvement of a judge in a private hearing to rule whether the
proposed DPA : is “in the interests of justice”, and the proposed terms
and statement of facts are “fair, reasonable and proportionate”.
Issue : will courts approve DPAs without admission of guilt by
companies ?
5. Key differences with US DPAs:
Allowed for corporate offenders, so commercial organizations only ( not
individuals) # US: both individuals and organizations
Settlement of specific offences only(that is fraud, bribery,
money-laundering) # US: broad range of criminal activities
Authority to enter into DPAs reserved to heads of CPS and SFO # US
Transparency of process: final court hearing as a public event # US
Key review, approval and oversight role of the judiciary (approval,
breach or variation) # discretion of US DoJ
