Independence of the Director of Public Prosecutions: A Historical Report Calls for Legal Reform

A historical 67-page report, commissioned by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and funded by the British government, proposes a comprehensive overhaul of the prosecution system in Mauritius. Written by international lawyer and judge Francesca Del Mese, who has 25 years of experience across more than 50 countries and is a member of the highly sensitive Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) in the UK, this document represents the first complete institutional analysis of the role, powers, and responsibilities of the DPP in Mauritius.
