Louise Oakley appointed as Grade 4 advocate on the CPS Specialist Panels

Advocates on the Serious Crime Group Panel advise on and prosecute cases on behalf of the Central Casework Divisions relating to Special Crime – serious and sensitive casework as set out in the referral criteria, including deaths in custody, assisted suicides, serious criminal allegations against police officers, gross negligence manslaughter and election offences. The Serious Crime Group also covers Organised Crime – members of the most serious organised crime groups and cases typically investigated by the National Crime Agency, as well as other law enforcement bodies such as Home Office Immigration Enforcement and specialist Police units, and often involving organised drugs, international firearms conspiracies, immigration, modern slavery, sexual exploitation and cyber-crime.
