## Freedom Of Information Act 2000 Request The Breakdown In Details For The Agnes Taylor Case (War Crimes Prosecution) From When An Investigative Case Was Opened To The Judge'S Dismissal Request

1. A cost breakdown for the Agnes Taylor case (war crimes prosecution) from when an 
investigative case was opened to when a judge dismissed the case on 6th December 2019. If it is possible I would like the intra-agency costs to be included (namely Met Police, CPS, 
Intelligence Services, Prison Service) but if that's not available then I am happy to accept the CPS costs of this case only. I'd like these costs to be provided with a yearly breakdown and ideally as itemised as possible. 
2. The number of lawyers assigned to the Agnes Taylor case 
 
3. The number of support staff at the CPS assigned to the Agnes Taylor case 
 
4. If there is a lessons learned evaluation of the failed prosecution, I would like to be provided 
with it with redactions made as regards information that should not be disclosed to the public.
