Re: DPP charges politicians on expenses fraud

just heard on the itv news that they haven't been arrested nor have they been fingerprinted or had dna samples taken but have been charged

i thought ,and i could be wrong that if you have been charged then you must have been arrested and therefore fingerprints and dna must be taken
could this be the reason ?


Quote:
He said those who had been charged had raised the question of whether they could be protected by parliamentary privilege.
Mr Starmer said: "We have considered that question and concluded that the applicability and extent of any parliamentary privilege claimed should be tested in court."
