Unbelieveable part two CPS. Without prejudice!

Incandescent with rage.

Some of you will know that during a very difficult personal time, I was offered a new job and a business opportunity with someone I believed to have my best interests at heart. I put money into the business he set up to buy a property and then he pulled out of the purchase and i found out that the money I had put into the business account had been removed by him. He acknowledged to the police that he had the money and said he was keeping it to take me to court for libel. Action Fraud refused to take up the case on the basis that the man would not be traceable, but that was nonsense - his nephews are regularly on TV, so he could be traced through them Luckily the police took up the case, however, despite the numerous lies and the grooming, they felt he had been so clever with stitching me up that they felt proving intent, which is what is required for fraud, would be too difficult, so they agreed to prosecute him for theft. It seemed like an open and shut case. He was never given the money, it went into what was believed to be a business account and he used it for purposes other than those for which it was put into the bank account. but guess what according to the Crown Prosecution Service, that does not constitute theft. Cannot even begin to express how furious I am, The police have used words like grooming with me, they say now he could have been prosecuted from coercive control, but I cannot even get the powers that be to charge him for theft despite him acknowledging he has my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would of course have taken him to court myself, but guess what this man gave me a false address.  B. B is just laughing - no wonder he seems to feel the law cannot touch him, if the powers that be say that taking someone's money is not theft.   I appreciate that this is all part of process and I am learning a lot more about process as a result of this, but many citizens - myself included, work on the basis, that you report a crime, it is investigated and then the case is prosecuted, now I discover all this unexpected twists and turns.   I cannot take the man to court as he gave me a false address,  but without taking him to court and showing he has not returned the money CPS say at present then there is not sufficient evidence of him dishonestly taking the money from me that they cannot pursue him for theft.   So catch 22.  There is a review process, so I will try and await the outcome of that calmly but again weirdly they do not ask why you disagree with their decision so whilst I have said that some of the decision making seems to be based on incorrect information I have no guarantee that that will be factored in.
