Part 1: Digital Markets Investigatory powers etc Section 73: Use of interview statements in prosecution
This section lists the circumstances in which interview statements in answer to questions under section 72 may be used as evidence against that individual in a criminal prosecution.
	Subsections (1) and (2) provide that an interview statement required under section 72 may not be used as evidence against the individual who gave it in any criminal proceedings, except where that individual is being prosecuted for destroying or falsifying information under section 93 or for providing false or misleading information under section 94. The statement may also be used as evidence in a prosecution for any other criminal offence, but only where that individual gives evidence or asks questions about the statement given under section 72, or this is done on their behalf, and makes a statement inconsistent with it. Section 30A of the Competition Act 1998 places similar limits on the use of a statement given as evidence as part of an investigation under that Act in criminal proceedings against the individual who gave it.
