We investigate the possibility of observing direct [ital CP] violation in self-tagging [ital B]-meson decays of the type [ital b][r arrow][ital dJ]/[psi]. The [ital CP] asymmetry can be generated due to strong or electromagnetic scattering in the final state, or due to long distance effects. The first two contributions give asymmetries of a few [times]10[sup [minus]3], in the standard model. The long distance effects are hard to estimate, but it cannot be excluded that they yield asymmetries of about 1%.
