Our equivalent (I think ?? ) of the CPS is the investigating magistrate, and on financial biz some are specialists ...

Examining magistrate

Investigating judges in France have an important role in the French judiciary. They are also a feature of the Spanish, Dutch, Belgian and Greek criminal justice ...

IF I were Ukrainian I'd be between Outraged and Sad that so much energy has been used on Gaza , compared to Ukraine .................
