Il CPS fornisce “consigli” alla polizia sulle indagini su Andrew e Mandelson

>Early investigative advice is a routine part of many police investigations – particularly in serious, complex and high profile cases.

>It allows CPS lawyers to give views and advice to officers about the evidence they have gathered and that advice typically helps to form an action plan to progress enquiries.

>Early investigative advice does not, in itself, indicate that sufficient evidence exists to put someone before the court.

>It is not the same as referring a case to the CPS for a charging decision, which typically comes when the police feel they have gathered sufficient evidence to formally ask prosecutors for authorisation to charge.

So this is a fairly routine thing that is only news because of the people being investigated.
