Prosecutor's/District Attorney's (AE)/(Voluntary:BE) Bill of Indictment
Explanation:
Previa vista fiscal asked recently on ProZ.Com.

Again, I reckon it's got abs. nthg to do with tax, but the Fiscal = Public Prosecutor 'preferring a bill of indictment' (AE & BE terminolgy going back hundreds of years).

In the UK, a Voluntary Bill can be preferred by the CPS - Crown Prosecution Service to haul a co-accused into a trial on a sperate indictment .

'Bill of indictment
Indictment \In*dict"ment\, n. [Cf. Inditement.] 1. The act of indicting, or the state of being indicted.
2. (Law) The formal statement of an offense, as framed by the prosecuting authority of the State, and found by the grand jury.
Note: To the validity of an indictment a finding by the grand jury is essential, while an information rests only on presentation by the prosecuting authority.
3. An accusation in general; a formal accusation'
