According to skynews.com.au, Scotland Yard said officers
have sent a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) over the prank earlier
this month by presenters Mel Greig and Michael Christian, from Sydney 's 2Day FM radio station.
Indian-born nurse Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found dead in
her lodgings near King Edward VII's Hospital in central London , where Catherine was being treated for
acute morning sickness, on December 7.
'Following the death of Jacintha Saldanha, officers have
liaised with the CPS as to whether any criminal offences had been committed in
relation to the hoax call made to King Edward VII's Hospital in the early hours
of Tuesday, 4 December,' Scotland Yard said in a statement on Saturday.
It said officers submitted a file to the CPS on Wednesday
for it to consider whether any potential offences may have been committed by
making the hoax call.
Saldanha left three notes, one of which reportedly
criticised colleagues over her treatment at the hospital.
It was not immediately clear how British prosecutors could
pursue foreigners for a possible offence originated outside Britain .
Greig and Christian made tearful televised apologies for
making the call, in which they posed as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles and
obtained private details of Catherine's medical condition.
Australian police say death threats have been made against
the presenters.
The station has cancelled the show which ran the segment,
suspended all prank calls and pledged at least $A500,000 to help the grieving
family.
