Subversion: Prosecutions
The question
To ask the Attorney General, what plans she has to ensure the effective prosecution of offenders charged with hostile state activity.
Answered by Attorney General's Office
The CPS Counter Terrorism Division (CTD) is a specialist unit responsible for advising upon, and prosecuting some of the most sensitive, serious and high-profile casework in the CPS, including cases involving state threat activity.
The Counter Terrorism Division prosecuted six cases involving state threat activity under Official Secrets Act legislation between 2019 – 2025 and has separately concluded four prosecutions relating to state threat activity under the National Security Act since it came into force in 2023.
