Later the office decided that they should be no further action in these two cases.
ACP Gungadin announced that these two cases were referred to Icac. He also spoke about various other cases where drivers, not working for the DPP’s office, have been booked since July 2022 and wrote to the DPP. They put forward various reasons justifying the fact they were speeding. He said that these reasons do not stand.
