Criminal justice certificates and visas

If a witness or person, who is charged with an offence is needed for the criminal justice process, is not an Australian citizen or residence and does not have a valid visa, the CDPP will consider applying for a criminal justice certificate which will allow the person to enter (a criminal justice entry certificate) or remain in Australia (a criminal justice stay certificate).

Banking cartel prosecutions discontinued

On 11 February 2022, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions Ms Sarah McNaughton SC announced her decision to decline to proceed further in the criminal prosecutions of Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Limited, Deutsche Bank AG and four senior banking executives for cartel offences arising from an ANZ institutional share placement in August 2015.

These prosecutions commenced in June 2018 following an investigation by the ACCC and a referral of a brief of evidence to the CDPP.

Counsel

The CDPP frequently engages counsel to support the diverse and complex litigation work conducted by the Office.

The CDPP’s engagement with counsel is critical to our delivery of an effective and independent prosecution service to the Australian community. Across its national practice, the CDPP greatly values its ongoing professional relationship with the various Bars.

The CDPP has established a dedicated Counsel Coordination team.
