About criminal cases
Criminal cases are filed by the prosecution on behalf of the state against individuals or legal persons on grounds of alleged culpable conduct by them.
The prosecutorial power is held by the chiefs of police, the Office of the National Commissioner of Police, the Office of the District Prosecutor and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Criminal cases are filed by means of an indictment and it is the responsibility of the prosecution to obtain evidence and to prove the guilt of the relevant indicted person.
