The UK Solicitor General, Oliver Heald QC, announced yesterday in a keynote speech at the World Bribery and Corruption Compliance Forum in London that the UK Government has decided to move forward with legislation giving the Serious Fraud Office (“SFO”) and the Crown Prosecution Service authority to enter into deferred prosecution agreements (“DPAs”) to resolve certain economic crime issues, including bribery, fraud and money laundering. Shortly thereafter, the legislation was tabled as an amendment to the UK Government’s Crime and Courts Bill.
