Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how many Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs) the Serious Fraud Office has entered into in each of the last 10 years.
This question was answered on 4th October 2019
Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs) have been available to prosecutors since February 2014. The SFO has agreed five DPAs with UK companies since the legislation came into force, three of which were for overseas corruption offences.
Full details of all DPAs are available on the SFO’s website at: https://www.sfo.gov.uk/publications/guidance-policy-and-protocols/deferred-prosecution-agreements/.
