The DPP has today sent an official letter to the Office of The Inspector General asking him to direct his officers to “divert” all cases to do with touting unless tangible evidence accompanies the cases which he says “have been straining the judicial process”.

Here is the full letter from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution below.
