United States Eighth Circuit

When a federal criminal investigator has properly been made privy to grand jury materials and is also involved in a related civil investigation, no per se violation of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e)(3)(B) occurs. In order to violate the rule, there must be evidence that the knowledge of matters before the grand jury held by the investigator has been put to use in some way other than to further the criminal investigation.
