U.K. lawyers and the SFO, take note! The DOJ pilot for whistleblowers is NOT offering compensation in criminal cases. It is offering non prosecution. This is something that is being badly misunderstood in the U.K. The Director of the SFO quoted in his RUSI speech whistleblower payments in $2.2 billion DOJ civil settlements. Yes, civil settlements. I suspect a lions share came from False Claims Act and other DOJ civil powers. The UK has no such law and the SFO has no similar civil powers. So why exactly does the SFO think that “DOJ-style” compensation for whistleblowers in criminal cases is feasible for the SFO? Or is this the SFO suggesting a poorly researched strategy because they misunderstand what the Americans do? Or because the SFO needs more help getting corporate criminal cases across the line? The legal systems are divided by more than a common language.

I am pleased to share a valuable resource that sheds light on the often misunderstood role of prosecutors in the context of criminal justice reform. The latest blog post from the Brennan Center titled "Myths and Realities: Prosecutors and Criminal Justice Reform" delves into the complexities surrounding prosecutorial practices and their implications for justice system reforms. This insightful piece dismantles common misconceptions, offering a nuanced perspective on how prosecutors can be advocates for meaningful change. I encourage everyone to read and engage with this important discussion as we continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities in the realm of criminal justice.
