Wonder why they don’t want an apology from him, or from Dame Alison Saunders, who was the DPP when the investigation into Paul Gambaccini was undertaken?
Or perhaps Bernard Hogan-Howe, who was the Met Police Commissioner at the time - it was his officers who interviewed Mr Gambaccini.
A small point, but a very important one - the CPS (whoever is in charge) does not decide who gets investigated; the Police do that.

The difference between the police and the CPS
The police:
The police arrest and question, they gather evidence and take witness statements.
The CPS:
The CPS is responsible for charging and prosecuting, they decide if the evidence is good enough to go to court.
