Perverting The Course Of Justice
Last year I was prosecuted for fraud. The only evidence against me was the word of two other people. The case went to trial at my request in Crown Court. The prosecution presented its case and then called the two prosecution witnesses who contradicted each other, the statements they had made to the police and could not explain away evidence that supported the defence when questioned by the defence barrister. The prosecution dropped the case without any further prosecution witnesses being called which, were the investigating officer and an individual who could only confirm facts that were not disputed and would have supported the defence, or any defence witnesses. The motive for the allegations was to attempt to avoid a debt owed to me. I have since successfully pursued the two prosecution witnesses through the County Court and recovered a sum that was 10 times the value of the alleged fraud. The fact is though that they are guilty of 'perverting the course of justice'. Why they haven't been prosecuted, I don't know. The judge waived aside my the defence barristers suggestion that they should be prosecuted and neither the police of CPS have done anything about it. Which, is the best way to try and get them prosecuted? Can I make a complaint to the Police or should I write to the CPS with my evidence?

you have had answers you just do not seem to like them.
All you can do is present your evidence to the police and see if they consider that there is sufficient to ask the CPS to reconsider prosecution.
The company in my first link will look at your evidence and if it looks viable will help you present it to the police , read it!.
However it will cost you around £250 an hour.
Despite your 'extensive research', in reality the prospect of getting you costs paid by 'court funds' are very low. The entire funding structure for criminal cases has recently been changed and massively reduced, you stand next to no chance of getting a case like this funded . So you are going to need at least £50,000 just to start the case.
Remember 'The Law , like the Ritz Hotel, is open to all! You just need the cash
