Rapist begins action alleging DPP delayed decision not to prosecute prison officers for alleged perjury

A convicted rapist who was awarded damages after being assaulted while serving his prison sentence has brought a legal challenge over an alleged delay in a DPP review into complaints of alleged perjury by prison officers.

The action has been taken by Darius Savickis who wants the High Court to direct the DPP to complete a review into the decision not to prosecute prison officers over evidence they gave before the High Court in 2013.
