Also ridiculous that the decision to try and use the Official Secrets Act in this way was made without consultation with more senior officers, and was made without initial advice from the DPP.

Under FCPA laws, American companies are banned from paying representatives of a foreign government to gain a commercial advantage.

So even if the Dowlers don't prosecute in the US there are those who may well pursue the Murdochs through the courts anyway.

It's not the Dowlers, it's the lawyer the Dowlers used - he is now trying to gather clients in the US.
