In South Korea, on October 2, a large-scale reform of the prosecutorial system took place, and the Public Prosecution Service and Serious Crime Investigation Agency were officially established. Consequently, the Public Prosecutors' Office, which had lasted for 78 years, was abolished, putting an end to a system where prosecutorial institutions held both investigative and prosecutorial powers for many years. The Public Prosecution Service will mainly be responsible for filing indictments and maintaining public trials, while the Serious Crime Investigation Agency will be in charge of investigating serious crimes in 7 categories. The majority of general criminal cases will be investigated by the police, and the Public Prosecution Service will not have investigative powers. Although the organization called the 'Public Prosecutors' Office' has ceased to exist, the titles of 'prosecutor' and 'Prosecutor General' will continue to be used. (Provided by/CGTN Japanese)
