Separate prosecuting body for Customs

  A separate prosecuting body is to be set up for Customs
  and Excise following the collapse of a series of high profile
  trials.

  The Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, said the new
  Customs and Excise Prosecutions Office (CEPO), directly
  accountable to him, would be established by the end of next
  year.

  The creation of a separate prosecuting body was the
  central recommendation of a report earlier this year by Mr
  Justice Butterfield into the failure of a series cases involving
  £600 million of alleged alcohol duty fraud.

  More than 50 defendants who were convicted or pleaded
  guilty in the course of 13 separate prosecutions had their
  convictions quashed while no evidence was offered against
  further 40 defendants.

 "Perceptions" note:

 It seems this will result in a sharp drop in pedophiles being
 caught and prosecuted - see "LaworJustice" - Google

 If recent actions are a guide, long-term plotting to deprive
 Customs & Excise of prosecuting power has been driven by the
 resentment of elite pedophiles - judges, diplomats, police-
 chiefs - at being caught by Customs when smuggling pedophile
 material in their baggage after returning from "sex-tourism'.

 Sex tourism is protected and condoned by those in high places
 in UK - see http://www.perceptions.couk.com/pedodip.txt
