The Police Service was approached during 2001 with regard to the criminal act of attempting to pervert the course of justice, or perverting the same, or conspiracy to pervert.
We did not specifically address the attempt of subversion of the law, and that issue remains to be resolved.
The police were initially reluctant to forward a report to CPS, but did so under pressure. The CPS refused to bring a prosecution for perversion of the course of justice. They offered no alternative law(s) under which action could be taken. It appears their opinion is, that there are no laws in the UK to deal with a body of people, in a sensitive position, who attempt to either subvert the law (in general) or pervert the course of justice (in individual cases).
We do not accept that there are no laws to deal with this, and believe that the lack of prosecution is indicative of political interference in the case.
