Ruling party to abolish the prosecution's supplementary investigation authority and leave only the investigation request authority
Legislation is being pursued to abolish the prosecution's supplementary investigation authority and leave only the investigation request authority Take a look at both the effect of separating investigations and prosecutions and the impact on the field
The ruling party is pushing ahead with related legislation in a direction that would abolish the prosecution’s supplementary investigative authority and leave only the authority to request investigations. It is a plan to reduce the scope of the prosecution’s direct involvement in investigations while leaving it only the role of requesting necessary supplements from investigative agencies such as the police.
This discussion is being carried out with the aim of reducing prosecutorial power and making the separation between investigation and prosecution more clear. However, further discussion is needed on how the system change will actually affect investigative efficiency and casehandling methods.
