The revised bill primarily abolishes the prosecutor's supplementary investigation authority and instead aims to improve the mechanisms for prosecutors to request supplementary investigations, corrective actions, and re-investigations, according to the Justice Ministry.
The ministry added, "This revised law is set to take effect on October 2, coinciding with the launch of the Public Prosecution Service and the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency. We plan to swiftly prepare amendments to subordinate regulations, such as the 'Investigation Guidelines,' and proceed with the legislative process, including public notice of the amendments."
Furthermore, the ministry stated, "We will collaborate with relevant agencies to develop a structure and budget that will enable the Public Prosecution Service to function without disruption. Starting October 2, we will diligently fulfill our role as a prosecuting agency in handling cases related to public safety crimes and serious crimes, including prosecution, maintenance, execution of sentences, and recovery of criminal proceeds."
