I'm not sure, but is civil disclosure readily accessible to prosecutors? I thought normally it was kept confidential, and thus would only be available in the case of an active criminal case. I would expect that prosecutors wouldn't be able to trawl through it searching for evidence of wrongdoing, and there's some procedure around that in parallel construction, but I'm not a lawyer and I can't find any specific discussion of that matter particularly.
