Abstract: In this paper we study conjugacy separability of subdirect products of two free (or hyperbolic) groups. We establish necessary and sufficient criteria and apply them to fibre products to produce a finitely presented group $G_1$ in which all finite index subgroups are conjugacy separable, but which has an index $2$ overgroup that is not conjugacy separable. Conversely, we construct a finitely presented group $G_2$ which has a non-conjugacy separable subgroup of index $2$ such that every finite index normal overgroup of $G_2$ is conjugacy separable. The normality of the overgroup is essential in the last example, as such a group $G_2$ will always posses an index $3$ overgroup that is not conjugacy separable. Finally, we characterize $p$-conjugacy separable subdirect products of two free groups, where $p$ is a prime. We show that fibre products provide a natural correspondence between residually finite $p$-groups and $p$-conjugacy separable subdirect products of two non-abelian free groups. As a consequence, we deduce that the open question about the existence of an infinite finitely presented residually finite $p$-group is equivalent to the question about the existence of a finitely generated $p$-conjugacy separable full subdirect product of infinite index in the direct product of two free groups.
