The Crown Prosecution Service is at present giving investigative advice to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in respect of two pre charge investigations, which fall under Operation Tuleta and Operation Elveden.

In addition, the CPS has also received Victims' Right to Review correspondence in relation to its recent decision not to charge ten individual journalists who worked at Mirror Group Newspapers for allegations of phone hacking at Mirror Group Newspapers, as part of Operation Golding. This correspondence is currently being considered.
