The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to immediately commence investigations into the child exploitation ring exposed in the BBC Eye documentary aired on Tuesday.
In a statement on Thursday, ODPP gave DCI seven days to investigate the matter and present an investigation file to its office for review and the undertaking of appropriate legal action. "Given the seriousness of the claims presented, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), pursuant to Article 157(4) of the Constitution, has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to immediately undertake a thorough and comprehensive investigation and submit the resulting investigation file to the ODPP within seven (7) days for review and appropriate prosecutorial action," the statement read in part.
