Ms Isolde Goggin:

The current position is that in the case of a participant in a cartel who is first in the door and willing to provide us with evidence about it and co-operate with the investigation, we can ask the DPP to give that person immunity from prosecution. He or she will not be prosecuted for his or her part in the cartel. However, the quid pro quois that he or she has to be prepared to give evidence against the other members.
