A proposal to enter into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with Standard Bank Plc (now known as ICBC Standard Bank Plc), has already been approved in principle by Lord Justice Leveson. On Monday, 30th November 2015, the SFO will apply for final approval of the DPA before the same judge at Southwark Crown Court, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Full details of the facts of the case and the terms of the agreement will be given in open court at the public hearing of the application to approve the DPA. Should the judge approve the DPA, the SFO will publish it.
The hearing will take place at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London at 10AM (Court 3).
